A CT Orbit scan (Computed Tomography of the orbit) uses X-rays and advanced computer processing to produce detailed cross-sectional images of the eye sockets, including the eyes, optic nerves, muscles, and bones. Unlike traditional X-rays, it captures images slice by slice, which can later be combined to form 3D models for a comprehensive view.

What Is a CT Orbit Scan?

A CT Orbit scan uses advanced X-ray technology and computer processing to produce high-resolution images of the orbital area. This scan plays an essential role in detecting abnormalities that might not appear in standard X-rays.

Doctors often recommend this scan to assess:

  • Orbital fractures after injury

  • Eye infections or inflammation (like orbital cellulitis)

  • Tumors or cysts around the eye

  • Foreign bodies lodged in or near the orbit

  • Diseases affecting the optic nerve or muscles controlling eye movement

How Is the Procedure Done?

A CT Orbit scan is quick and painless:

  1. The patient lies on a CT table.

  2. The scanner rotates around the head, capturing detailed images.

  3. Sometimes, a contrast dye is injected intravenously to enhance visualization of blood vessels and tissues.

  4. The scan usually takes about 10–15 minutes.

After the scan, radiologists analyze the images to provide a detailed report for the referring physician.

Preparation Before a CT Orbit

  • Remove any metallic items (jewelry, glasses, hairpins).

  • Inform the technician if you are pregnant or allergic to contrast dye.

  • If contrast is used, fasting may be required for a few hours before the scan.

Advantages of a CT Orbit Scan

  • Provides highly detailed images of bone and soft tissue structures.

  • Detects even minute fractures or lesions around the eye.

  • Helps plan surgery or treatment effectively.

  • Fast, non-invasive, and widely available.

Who Should Get a CT Orbit?

Your doctor may recommend a CT Orbit if you have:

  • Persistent eye pain or swelling

  • Double vision or reduced eye movement

  • Eye trauma or suspected fracture

  • Signs of infection or tumor in the orbit

Frequently Asked Questions

A CT scan of the orbit can detect orbital fractures, infections, tumors, thyroid eye disease, and other structural abnormalities in the bones, muscles, and tissues around the eyes.

No, the procedure is painless. The primary discomfort may come from having to remain still during the scan, but it does not involve any pain.

The procedure usually takes around 10-15 minutes, depending on the complexity of the imaging and whether contrast dye is used.

Yes, a CT scan can evaluate both bone and soft tissue structures around the eyes. However, an MRI may be more useful for assessing soft tissue issues in detail.
