MSCT orbit

Orbital MSCT is an advanced radiological method that uses a multislice CT device to obtain a detailed view of the eye sockets, eyes, eye muscles, and surrounding bony structures. This examination enables early detection of tumors, injuries, inflammatory processes, and other abnormalities in the orbital area.

When is orbital MSCT recommended?

The examination is most commonly performed in cases of:

• traumatic injuries of the eye and eye socket
• suspicion of tumors of the eyes or ocular structures
• chronic or acute inflammations
• abnormal position of the eyeballs or eye muscles
• damage due to compression of the optic nerve
• planning surgical procedures in the area of the eyes or eye sockets

Orbital MSCT is often combined with a contrast agent for more accurate visualization of soft tissues and blood vessels.

Patient preparation

Preparation for orbital MSCT is simple:

• remove jewelry, glasses, and all metal objects from the face and head
• if contrast is used, it is necessary not to eat for several hours before the examination
• inform the doctor about allergies to contrast agents or kidney problems

Our team ensures a safe contrast administration protocol with continuous supervision by professional staff.

What does the examination look like?

The examination is quick and painless. The patient lies on the CT device table, the head is properly positioned for optimal imaging, and the scan takes only a few minutes. In the case of contrast use, a temporary feeling of warmth may be experienced.

A specialist radiologist analyzes the images and prepares a detailed report which the patient receives within a short time.
