Summary
Computed tomography (CT) is an extremely valuable noninvasive method for evaluating orbital softtissue structures. The possibility of scanning in the coronal plane has added a new dimension to the study. Direct enlargement viewing of scans on the display console has disclosed minute anatomic and pathologic details.
