About CECT Orbit (Axial + Coronal)
CECT Orbit (Axial + Coronal) is a specialized computed tomography (CT) scan of the orbital area (axially and coronally) with the use of dye that has been administered intravenously. It provides detailed information about the entire orbital anatomy and pathophysiology, including visualization of soft tissues, blood vessels, inflammatory changes, and abnormal lesions.
The scan provides a good view of the eyeballs (globe), optic nerves, extraocular muscles, orbital fat, lacrimal glands, optic canals, surrounding facial bones, and adjacent paranasal sinuses. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy uses high-tech CT imaging to render precise, high-quality images of the eye and orbital disorders, especially ones involving contrast.
What is a CECT Orbit (Axial + Coronal)?
A CECT-Orbit (Axial + Coronal) is a non-invasive imaging study using IV contrast. This combines X-rays and computer technology with a dual imaging plane to produce detailed images of the orbits to enable doctors to more accurately diagnose soft tissue lesions, infections, inflammatory diseases, tumours and vascular abnormalities.
It is commonly used when you experience eye swelling that hasn't been explained, have persistent eye pain, vision problems, suspicious-looking orbital masses, infection, or orbital trauma, or if further detail of the soft tissues of the eye orbit is needed before treatment is given or surgery.
Common Reasons for CECT Orbit (Axial + Coronal)
- Orbital swelling or inflammation
- Suspected orbital tumours or masses
- Eye pain or visual disturbances
- Orbital infections
- Evaluation of vascular abnormalities
- Assessment of traumatic eye injuries
- Pre-operative evaluation
- Follow-up after orbital surgery or treatment
Conditions Evaluated
Orbital Tumours
Helps detect and evaluate benign and malignant tumours involving the orbit and surrounding tissues.
Orbital Infections
Assesses orbital cellulitis, abscesses, and other infectious conditions affecting the orbital region.
Inflammatory Disorders
Evaluates inflammatory conditions involving the orbit, lacrimal glands, and extraocular muscles.
Vascular Abnormalities
Provides enhanced visualization of blood vessels and vascular lesions within the orbital region.
Optic Nerve and Soft Tissue Disorders
Assesses abnormalities involving the optic nerve, orbital muscles, lacrimal glands, and surrounding soft tissues.
Post-Surgical Changes
Monitors healing and evaluates complications following orbital surgery or treatment.

Test information: Fasting : 04 hours
Reporting: Within 24 hours*
- Fasting for 4–6 hours may be required before a CECT Orbit (Axial + Coronal) scan if intravenous (IV) contrast is to be administered. Follow your doctor's instructions.
- Wear comfortable clothing and remove spectacles, contact lenses (if advised), earrings, nose pins, hairpins, or any metallic objects around the head and face before the examination.
- Inform your doctor and radiology team if you have a history of contrast allergy, kidney disease, asthma, thyroid disorders, diabetes, or any previous reaction to contrast material.
- Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding before undergoing the scan.
- Inform your doctor about any history of eye surgery, orbital implants, facial trauma, eye infections, vision problems, or previous orbital procedures.
- Carry previous CT scans, MRI reports, ophthalmology records, ENT consultation notes, X-rays, or other relevant medical documents, if available, for comparison and accurate evaluation.
- Inform the radiology team about all current medications, especially metformin or other diabetes medicines, as temporary adjustments may be required before contrast administration.
- Drink plenty of water after the examination, unless otherwise advised, to help eliminate the contrast material from your body.
- Follow the CT technician's instructions carefully and remain completely still during image acquisition to obtain clear, high-quality images.
- Arrive 10–15 minutes before your scheduled appointment for registration and preparation.
