Get your CECT Orbit at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an advanced diagnostic centre in Radiology and Pathology, which is NABL & NABH-accredited. We use advanced contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) to give detailed cross-sectional images of the orbit, eye, optic nerve, extraocular muscles, blood vessels, orbital bones, and surrounding soft tissues via intravenous contrast.
This scan helps accurately diagnose tumors and infections of the eye socket, inflammation, vascular problems, and trauma to the orbit, or any other issues affecting the eye socket. Our highly skilled radiologists use cutting-edge CT scanners that provide precise quality contrast-enhanced imaging with prompt reporting for diagnosis and treatment planning.
About CECT Orbit
A CECT Orbit is a specialised computed tomography or X-ray scan image looking at the orbit, which uses X-rays and computer technology as well as intravenously injected contrast material to create detailed cross-sectional images of the orbital area. Contrast helps the soft tissues and blood vessels, abnormal growths, inflammation, and collections be better visualized.
This scan provides information about the eyeball, optic nerve, extraocular muscles, lacrimal gland, orbital fat, orbital bones, and surrounding structures for detailed analysis. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy uses advanced computer technology to provide detailed images that give a thorough look at complicated eye issues with contrast-enhanced imaging.
What is a CECT Orbit?
A CECT Orbit is a non-invasive imaging test that uses the injection of contrast dye. It employs a CT scan system to produce detailed images of the eye socket and surrounding structures, which assist a physician in determining if there is any abnormality that needs examination of soft tissues and vessels. A scan may be recommended to assess an orbital tumour, infection, inflammation, or if the eye has already been scanned, if there is any problem at the time.
Common Reasons for CECT Orbit
- Evaluation of orbital tumours or masses
- Suspected orbital infection
- Persistent swelling around the eye
- Assessment of inflammatory conditions
- Evaluation of vascular abnormalities
- Assessment of traumatic orbital injuries
- Evaluation of optic nerve and surrounding structures
- Assessment of collections or abscesses
- Pre-operative surgical planning
- Follow-up after treatment or surgery
Conditions Evaluated
Orbital Tumours and Masses
Helps detect and evaluate abnormal growths involving the orbit, eye, optic nerve, and surrounding soft tissues.
Orbital Infections
Assesses inflammatory changes, collections, abscesses, and infection involving the orbit and surrounding tissues.
Inflammatory Conditions
Evaluates inflammation involving the extraocular muscles, orbital fat, lacrimal gland, and other orbital structures.
Vascular Abnormalities
Provides enhanced visualization of orbital blood vessels and helps identify vascular lesions and abnormalities.
Traumatic Orbital Injuries
Assesses injuries involving the orbital bones, eye, muscles, and surrounding soft tissues.
Post-Surgical and Post-Treatment Changes
Helps evaluate healing, recurrent lesions, and complications following orbital surgery or other treatments.
Who Should Consider This Scan?
Your doctor may recommend this examination if you:
- Have persistent swelling or pain around the eye
- Have a suspected orbital tumour or mass
- Have suspected orbital infection
- Have abnormal eye movement or protrusion
- Require evaluation of vascular abnormalities
- Have suffered an orbital injury
- Require detailed imaging before surgery
- Need follow-up imaging after treatment

Test information: Fasting : 04 hours
Reporting: Within 24 hours*
- Fasting may be required before a CECT Orbit scan because intravenous contrast is administered. Follow the preparation instructions provided by your doctor or diagnostic centre.
- Drink adequate water before and after the examination, unless your doctor has advised fluid restriction, to help eliminate the contrast material from your body.
- Inform your doctor and radiology team about any history of contrast allergy, kidney disease, diabetes (especially if taking metformin), asthma, heart disease, or previous reactions to contrast media.
- Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant before undergoing the scan.
- Wear comfortable clothing and remove glasses, jewellery, earrings, watches, or other metallic objects from the head and face before the examination.
- Inform your doctor about any history of eye or orbital surgery, trauma, infection, tumour, vascular abnormality, or previous treatment involving the orbit.
- Carry previous CT scans, MRI reports, X-rays, ultrasound reports, eye examination records, biopsy reports, or other relevant medical documents, if available, for comparison and accurate evaluation.
- Inform the radiology team if you have difficulty lying flat, remaining still, or keeping your head in the required position during the examination.
- Follow the CT technician's instructions carefully and keep the head and eyes still during image acquisition to reduce motion artefacts.
- Arrive 15–20 minutes before your scheduled appointment for registration, preparation, IV cannulation, and contrast-related assessment.
