Book a CT Orbit (Axial + Coronal) - Plain CT scan at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, which is an NABL & NABH Accredited Diagnostic Centre, an innovative centre in the field of Radiology & Pathology providing advanced and best-of-class services. Advanced Computed Tomography (CT) imaging ability provides high-resolution images of eye sockets (orbits) in the axial and coronal planes (360 degrees) without the use of contrast. This in-depth evaluation aids in a proper diagnosis of ocular fractures, injuries, foreign bodies, congenital problems, osteological diseases, and other diseases of the eye and surrounding tissues. Our expert radiologists employ cutting-edge CT scanners, providing detailed multiplanar imaging with timely reporting and accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
About CT Orbit (Axial + Coronal) - Plain
A CT Orbit (Axial + Coronal) - Plain is a special type of CT scan that produces detailed cross-sectional images of the orbital region both in the horizontal (Axial) direction and the front-to-back (Coronal) direction without the use of intravenous contrast. These views together give a good overall view of the orbit and adjacent tissues, facial bones, and optic canals.
The scan provides excellent visualization of the eyeballs (globes), orbital bones, optic nerves, extraocular muscles, orbital fat, lacrimal glands, optic canals, other surrounding facial bones, and adjacent paranasal sinuses. At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, high-quality images are obtained by using an advanced CT imaging technology that renders an accurate analysis of orbitopathy, trauma, and ophthalmopathy.
What is a CT Orbit (Axial + Coronal) - Plain?
A CT Orbit (Axial + Coronal) - Plain is an imaging test that is non-invasive, and no injection is needed. It utilizes X-rays and computer technology to create detailed images of the orbits in two imaging planes, enabling physicians to make more accurate evaluations for fractures, foreign bodies, congenital abnormalities, and structural abnormalities. This scan is usually ordered after facial injury, after patients may have suffered an injury to the orbit, after someone complains of pain or swelling in their eye, or when a more detailed evaluation of the orbit is necessary.
Common Reasons for CT Orbit (Axial + Coronal) - Plain
Eye or facial injury following trauma
Suspected orbital fractures
Evaluation of orbital foreign bodies
Persistent eye pain or orbital swelling
Assessment of congenital orbital abnormalities
Evaluation of sinus disease extending into the orbit
Pre-operative planning
Follow-up after orbital surgery or trauma
Conditions Evaluated
Orbital Fractures
Detects fractures involving the orbital walls, floor, roof, and surrounding facial bones.
Orbital Foreign Bodies
Identifies metallic and non-metallic foreign bodies within the orbital region.
Orbital Bone Abnormalities
Evaluates congenital or acquired structural abnormalities affecting the orbit.
Optic Canal Abnormalities
Assesses the bony canal surrounding the optic nerve.
Sinus-Related Orbital Conditions
Evaluates extension of paranasal sinus disease into the orbital region.
Post-Traumatic and Post-Surgical Changes
Monitors healing and evaluates structural changes following orbital injury or surgery.
Who Should Consider This Scan?
Your doctor may recommend this examination if you:
Have sustained an eye or facial injury
Have suspected orbital fractures
Experience persistent eye pain or orbital swelling
Have suspected foreign bodies within the orbit
Require detailed orbital assessment before surgery
Need follow-up imaging after treatment

No special preparation is usually required for a CT Orbit (Axial + Coronal) - Plain scan.
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 if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant before undergoing the scan.
Inform your doctor and radiology team about any history of eye surgery, orbital implants, facial trauma, previous eye injuries, or suspected foreign bodies in or around the eye.
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 if you have any ongoing eye-related treatment, recent facial surgery, or orbital procedures.
Follow the CT technician's instructions carefully and keep your head completely still during image acquisition to obtain clear and accurate images.
Arrive 10–15 minutes before your scheduled appointment for registration and preparation.
CT Orbit (Axial + Coronal) - Plain जांच के लिए आमतौर पर किसी विशेष तैयारी की आवश्यकता नहीं होती।
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 आप गर्भवती हैं या गर्भावस्था की संभावना है, 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 चोट लगी है या आंख में किसी बाहरी वस्तु (Foreign Body) की संभावना है, तो इसकी जानकारी डॉक्टर और रेडियोलॉजी टीम 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 आपका कोई आंख या चेहरे से संबंधित उपचार चल रहा है या हाल ही में कोई ऑर्बिटल प्रक्रिया हुई है, तो रेडियोलॉजी टीम को इसकी जानकारी दें।
जांच के दौरान CT तकनीशियन के निर्देशों का पालन करें और सटीक एवं स्पष्ट इमेज प्राप्त करने के लिए सिर को बिल्कुल स्थिर रखें।
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.
The scan is performed without intravenous contrast material, making it a non-invasive examination for evaluating the bony structures and anatomy of the orbit.
The CT scanner acquires high-resolution axial and coronal images of the eyeballs (globes), orbital bones, optic nerves, extraocular muscles, orbital fat, lacrimal glands, optic canals, surrounding facial bones, and adjacent paranasal sinuses.
The patient is instructed to remain completely still throughout the scan to prevent motion artefacts and ensure high-quality images.
The examination helps evaluate orbital fractures, eye injuries, foreign bodies, congenital abnormalities, optic canal disorders, sinus-related orbital involvement, and post-traumatic or post-surgical changes.
The procedure is safe, painless, non-invasive, and generally completed within 5–10 minutes.
The radiologist carefully reviews the multiplanar images to assess the orbital anatomy, extent of injury, structural abnormalities, and any pathological findings.
The scan provides valuable information for ophthalmologists, ENT specialists, and trauma surgeons in planning appropriate treatment.
After detailed evaluation, the final report is generally available within 04 hours.
