The Radiological Spectrum of Common Orbital Pathologies with Clinicopathological Correlation

Background And Objectives : In Comparison to CT, MRI provides better soft tissue contrast. It also provides superior imaging information of the intracranial structures. MRI is the advanced imaging of choice for evaluation of the optic nerve, other cranial nerves, and intracranial lesions. The choice of imaging of the orbits at the crucial initial stage depends on the clinical derivation. CT is oftenly suggested for trauma, for evaluation of the bony orbits or calcified lesions, especially when MRI is contraindicated. Material and Methods: To demonstrate usefulness of Toshiba lightning aquilion 16 slice multi detector computerized tomography (MDCT) scan in diagnosis of the common orbital pathologies and to assess the severity of the disease. To demonstrate usefulness of nova gradient 1.5 T philips magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan in diagnosis of the common orbital pathologies and assessment of the normal structures of orbit with pathological abnormalities. After taking a brief note of properly informed written consent and complete history, thorough clinical examination was done and these patients were subjected to CT scan and MRI scan. Discussion And Conclusion : CT imaging can be promptly completed and requires minimal involvement of the patient cooperation. Therefore ,found to be logical for imaging orbital trauma. The advances of multidetector CT technology has resulted in high-resolution CT imaging. The source images could be well oriented in different planes, subjugated with high-resolution isotropic imaging. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Date of Submission: 01-01-2020 Date of Acceptance: 16-01-2020 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
