Diagnopein CT ORBIT (PLAIN) Centre in Karad

Why a CT Orbit (Plain) is Done

Doctors may advise a plain CT scan of the orbit for several reasons:

1. Trauma: To detect fractures around the eye socket after an injury.
2. Infections: To identify orbital cellulitis or abscess formation.
3. Tumors or cysts: To evaluate masses or abnormal growths in the orbit.
4. Eye movement issues: To check for structural or muscular abnormalities.
5. Proptosis (eye bulging): To find potential causes such as inflammation or space-occupying lesions.
6. Pre-surgery evaluation: To plan ophthalmic or reconstructive surgery.

How the Procedure is Done

1. The CT scan is performed in a diagnostic imaging center.
2. The patient lies on a motorized table that moves slowly through the CT scanner.
3. The machine rotates around the head, capturing multiple detailed images from different angles.
4. The entire scan typically takes about 10–15 minutes.
5. No contrast dye is used in a “plain” study, making it safe and comfortable for most patients.

Preparation Tips

1. Remove any metallic items like jewelry, glasses, or hairpins before the scan.
2. Inform the technologist if you are pregnant or have any metal implants.
3. No fasting is required for a plain CT orbit.

Benefits of a CT Orbit (Plain)

1. Fast and painless imaging process.
