CECT Orbit Coronal - Test, Procedure, Cost Details

CECT Orbit Coronal is Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography Orbit Coronal. This scan evaluates the orbits, eyes, and surrounding soft tissues and bony/hard tissues.

• For patients having symptoms including double vision, abrupt vision loss, pain, and swelling. 
• Detection of tumor
• Fractures of sockets of the eye bone can be done
• Fractures of the orbits of the eye can be detected
• The presence of bleeding or hemorrhage in the eye socket can be diagnosed 
• Infection around the eyes can be diagnosed.
• Inflammation related to the eyes and surrounding structures can be diagnosed

A head CT exam creates scan images of the brain, skull, and brain stem, that is useful in diagnosing conditions like trauma, stroke, congenital defects, suspected masses, and bleeding. Whereas a CT scan for the orbits is a diagnostic imaging technique that produces scan images of the eye and structures related to the orbital socket at different angles in thin-slice, which helps in diagnosing conditions and trauma.

You might be asked to lay on your back, or facing down with your chin raised. A pillow might be given for you to rest your head comfortably.

A CECT scan for orbits is used in cases of 

• Grave's disease, 
• Infection,
• Vision loss, 
• Trauma, 
• Blurred vision, 
• Malignancy, 
• eye pain.

A contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan of orbit is a diagnostic imaging method that uses X-rays or radiations to produce the detailed images of the eye sockets (orbits), eyes, and surrounding structures.

No, the contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan is not painful
