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.
Who Should Consider This Scan?
Your doctor may recommend this examination if you:
Have unexplained eye swelling or pain
Experience visual disturbances
Have suspected orbital tumours or infections
Require detailed assessment of orbital soft tissues
Need pre-operative evaluation
Require follow-up imaging after treatment

Book Your CECT Orbit (Axial + Coronal)
Make your appointment at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy for your CECT Orbit (Axial + Coronal). We safely, accurately, and timely deliver contrast-enhanced CT imaging for orbital tumours, infections, inflammatory conditions, vascular abnormalities, trauma, and ophthalmic disorders in a clinically experienced manner.
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.
यदि CECT Orbit (Axial + Coronal) जांच में IV कॉन्ट्रास्ट दिया जाना है, तो 4–6 घंटे का उपवास करना पड़ सकता है। अपने डॉक्टर के निर्देशों का पालन करें।
जांच के लिए आरामदायक कपड़े पहनें तथा चश्मा, कॉन्टैक्ट लेंस (यदि सलाह दी जाए), कान की बालियां, नोज़ पिन, हेयरपिन या सिर एवं चेहरे के आसपास की सभी धातु की वस्तुएं हटा दें।
यदि आपको कॉन्ट्रास्ट डाई से एलर्जी, किडनी की बीमारी, अस्थमा, थायरॉइड की समस्या, मधुमेह या पहले कॉन्ट्रास्ट से कोई प्रतिक्रिया हुई है, तो इसकी जानकारी डॉक्टर और रेडियोलॉजी टीम को दें।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं, गर्भधारण की योजना बना रही हैं या स्तनपान करा रही हैं, तो जांच से पहले डॉक्टर को अवश्य बताएं।
यदि आपकी आंख की सर्जरी हुई है, ऑर्बिटल इम्प्लांट लगा है, चेहरे पर चोट लगी है, आंख में संक्रमण है, दृष्टि संबंधी समस्या है या पहले कोई ऑर्बिटल प्रक्रिया हुई है, तो इसकी जानकारी डॉक्टर को दें।
यदि उपलब्ध हों, तो पिछली CT Scan, MRI रिपोर्ट, नेत्र विशेषज्ञ की रिपोर्ट, ENT रिपोर्ट, X-ray या अन्य संबंधित मेडिकल रिकॉर्ड साथ लेकर आएं।
यदि आप कोई नियमित दवा लेते हैं, विशेष रूप से मेटफॉर्मिन या अन्य मधुमेह की दवाएं, तो इसकी जानकारी रेडियोलॉजी टीम को दें।
यदि डॉक्टर द्वारा मना न किया गया हो, तो जांच के बाद पर्याप्त मात्रा में पानी पिएं, जिससे कॉन्ट्रास्ट शरीर से आसानी से बाहर निकल सके।
जांच के दौरान CT तकनीशियन के निर्देशों का पालन करें और स्पष्ट एवं सटीक इमेज प्राप्त करने के लिए बिल्कुल स्थिर रहें।
पंजीकरण और तैयारी के लिए निर्धारित समय से 10–15 मिनट पहले पहुंचें।
The patient is positioned comfortably on the CT scanner table with the head properly aligned to obtain detailed axial and coronal images of the orbital region.
An intravenous (IV) contrast agent is administered under medical supervision to enhance visualization of the orbital soft tissues, blood vessels, and abnormal structures.
The CT scanner acquires high-resolution contrast-enhanced axial and coronal images of the eyeballs (globes), optic nerves, extraocular muscles, orbital fat, lacrimal glands, optic canals, orbital bones, surrounding facial bones, blood vessels, and adjacent paranasal sinuses.
The patient is instructed to remain completely still throughout the examination to ensure sharp and accurate multiplanar images.
Some patients may experience a temporary warm sensation or metallic taste following contrast injection, which usually disappears within a few minutes.
The examination helps evaluate orbital tumours, infections, inflammatory disorders, vascular abnormalities, optic nerve disorders, traumatic injuries, soft tissue lesions, and post-surgical changes.
The procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and generally completed within 10–15 minutes, including contrast administration.
The radiologist carefully reviews the contrast-enhanced images to assess the extent of disease, involvement of surrounding orbital structures, and any abnormal findings, enabling accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
After detailed evaluation, the final report is generally available within 04 hours.
