High-resolution Computed Tomography (CT) imaging, without contrasting agents, is available for advanced imaging of the eye sockets (orbits). This scan can aid doctors in the exact diagnosis of orbital fracture, eye injuries, foreign body in the eye, bone abnormalities, sinus extension into the orbit, and many other eye and surrounding structures problems. Our highly qualified and experienced radiologists employing the latest in CT scanner technology deliver high-quality, timely images that enable precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
About CT Orbit Axial - Plain
CT Orbit Axial - Plain is usually performed when an IV contrast is not needed to get detailed axial (horizontal) cross-sectional images of the orbit/eye sockets. It offers superb visualization of the orbital bones, eyeballs (globes), extraocular muscles, optic nerves, orbital fat, lacrimal glands, and adjacent paranasal sinuses.
Advanced computed tomography (CT) imaging technology at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy brings a new level of imaging technology to the table and helps different medical specialties such as ophthalmologists, Nose, Throat specialists, neurologists, and trauma surgeons properly assess the orbital conditions of their patients.
What is a CT Orbit Axial - Plain?
CT Orbit Axial - Plain is a non-invasive imaging study performed without giving any intravenous contrast. It takes X-rays and computer technology to produce detailed images on the horizontal plane of the eye sockets and surrounding structures, which help the doctor evaluate any injuries to the eye sockets, confirm fractures, detect foreign bodies, and determine if other abnormalities are present in the eye sockets. Recommended after facial trauma, suspected orbital fracture or eye injuries, as well as possibly when there is trouble with the eye, unexplained orbital pain, or a detailed examination of the bony orbit.
Common Reasons for CT Orbit Axial - Plain
Eye or facial injury following trauma
Suspected orbital fracture
Evaluation of orbital foreign bodies
Persistent orbital pain
Assessment of orbital swelling
Evaluation of congenital orbital abnormalities
Pre-operative assessment
Follow-up after orbital surgery or trauma
Conditions Evaluated
Orbital Fractures
Detects fractures involving the orbital walls and surrounding facial bones.
Orbital Foreign Bodies
Identifies metallic or other foreign bodies lodged within the orbit.
Orbital Bone Abnormalities
Evaluates congenital or acquired abnormalities affecting the orbital bones.
Sinus Extension
Assesses diseases of the paranasal sinuses that may extend into the orbit.
Orbital Trauma
Evaluates injuries involving the eye socket and adjacent facial structures.
Post-Traumatic and Post-Surgical Changes
Monitors healing following orbital injuries or surgical procedures.
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 orbital pain or swelling
Have suspected foreign bodies within the orbit
Require evaluation before orbital surgery
Need follow-up imaging after treatment

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 about any history of eye surgery, orbital implants, facial trauma, previous eye injuries, or presence of any foreign body in or around the eye.
Carry previous CT scans, MRI reports, X-rays, ophthalmology consultation notes, ENT reports, or other relevant medical records, if available, for comparison and accurate assessment.
If you have undergone any recent facial or eye-related treatment or surgery, inform the radiology team before the examination.
Follow the CT technician's instructions carefully and keep your head completely still during image acquisition for clear and accurate images.
Arrive 10–15 minutes before your scheduled appointment for registration and preparation.
CT Orbit Axial - Plain जांच के लिए आमतौर पर किसी विशेष तैयारी की आवश्यकता नहीं होती।
आरामदायक कपड़े पहनें तथा जांच से पहले चश्मा, कॉन्टैक्ट लेंस (यदि सलाह दी जाए), कान की बालियां, नोज़ पिन, हेयरपिन या चेहरे एवं सिर 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 किसी बाहरी वस्तु (Foreign Body) की संभावना है, तो इसकी जानकारी डॉक्टर को दें।
यदि उपलब्ध हों, तो पिछली CT Scan, MRI, X-ray, नेत्र विशेषज्ञ की रिपोर्ट, ENT रिपोर्ट या अन्य संबंधित मेडिकल रिकॉर्ड साथ लेकर आएं।
यदि आपने हाल ही में आंख या चेहरे से संबंधित कोई उपचार या सर्जरी कराई है, तो रेडियोलॉजी टीम को इसकी जानकारी दें।
जांच के दौरान CT तकनीशियन के निर्देशों का पालन करें और स्पष्ट एवं सटीक 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 accurate axial images of the orbital region.
The scan is performed without intravenous contrast material, unless specifically advised by the treating physician.
The CT scanner captures high-resolution axial images of the eye sockets, orbital bones, eyeballs (globes), extraocular muscles, optic nerves, orbital fat, lacrimal glands, and surrounding paranasal sinus structures.
The patient is instructed to remain completely still and avoid head movement during image acquisition to ensure clear imaging.
The examination provides detailed evaluation of orbital fractures, eye injuries, foreign bodies, bone abnormalities, sinus-related orbital involvement, congenital abnormalities, and post-traumatic changes.
The procedure is safe, painless, non-invasive, and generally completed within 5–10 minutes.
The radiologist carefully evaluates the obtained images to assess the condition of orbital structures, extent of injury, and any abnormal findings to support accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
The scan is commonly performed for patients with facial trauma, suspected orbital fracture, persistent eye pain, swelling, foreign body evaluation, and pre-operative assessment.
After detailed evaluation, the final report is generally available within 04 hours.
