4000

Book your CECT Orbit Axial at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL & NABH Accredited Diagnostic Centre that provides advanced services in the field of Radiology and Pathology. We are equipped with state-of-the-art Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT), which offers detailed axial images of the orbits or eye sockets, assisting in precise diagnosis of orbital tumours, infections, inflammatory and other complex abnormalities of the eyes and orbital rim, and other vascular and traumatic complications.

 

With timely reporting, accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning, our diagnostic team of experienced radiologists renders high-resolution contrast-enhanced images from state-of-the-art CT scanners.

About CECT Orbit Axial

A CECT Orbit Axial is a special type of CT scan that creates detailed axial (supine) cross-sectional images of the orbits, after a contrast dye is injected intravenously. A contrast dye enhances visibility of the soft tissues, blood vessels, inflammation, and abnormal tissue in and around the orbit.

 

The scan clearly demonstrates the eyeballs (globes), optic nerves, extraocular muscles, orbital fat, (proximal) lacrimal glands, bones of the orbit, blood vessels, as well as adjacent paranasal sinuses. Advanced CT imaging technology offers high-contrast images, as well as high-quality images for contrast, at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy to help accurately evaluate disorders of the eye and eye sockets.

What is a CECT Orbit Axial?

CECT of Orbit Axial is an imaging test that is done by injecting a special dye into the vein and then getting X-ray images of the Orbital region. It employs X-ray and computer technologies to produce detailed cross-sectional images of the socket of the eye and surrounding tissues, giving the physicians more accurate information about tumours, infections, vascular abnormalities, and soft tissue lesions.

 

The scan is typically ordered in people who have eye swelling for unknown reasons, vision problems, suspected orbital masses, infections, trauma to the eye, or when a detailed view of the soft tissues in the orbits is helpful.

Common Reasons for CECT Orbit Axial

  • 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 or malignant masses involving the orbit and surrounding tissues.

Orbital Infections

Assesses conditions such as orbital cellulitis, abscess formation, and inflammatory changes.

Inflammatory Disorders

Evaluates inflammatory conditions affecting the orbit and extraocular muscles.

Vascular Abnormalities

Provides enhanced visualization of blood vessels and vascular lesions within the orbital region.

Optic Nerve and Soft Tissue Abnormalities

Helps assess abnormalities involving the optic nerve, muscles, and orbital soft tissues.

Post-Surgical Changes

Monitors healing and evaluates complications following orbital procedures.

Who Should Consider This Scan?

Your doctor may recommend this examination if you:

  • Have unexplained eye swelling or pain
  • Experience visual changes or orbital symptoms
  • Have suspected orbital tumours or infections

Test information: Fasting : 04 hours

Reporting: Within 24 hours*

  • Fasting for 4–6 hours may be required before a CECT Orbit Axial 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 about any history of contrast allergy, kidney disease, asthma, diabetes, thyroid disorders, or previous reactions to contrast material.
  • Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding before undergoing the scan.
  • Inform your doctor about any previous eye surgery, orbital implants, facial injuries, eye infections, or ongoing eye-related treatments.
  • Carry previous CT scans, MRI reports, ophthalmology records, eye examination reports, X-rays, or other relevant medical documents, if available, for comparison and accurate assessment.
  • Inform the radiology team about all current medications, especially diabetes medicines such as metformin, as specific instructions may be required before contrast administration.
  • Drink adequate water before and after the scan unless restricted by your doctor, to help remove the contrast material from the body.
  • Follow the CT technician's instructions carefully and remain still during the scan to obtain clear and accurate images.
  • Arrive 10–15 minutes before your scheduled appointment for registration and preparation.
