| Popis: | Imaging plays an important role in the workup of patients with orbital disease within the emergency department, inpatient, and outpatient settings. Orbital imaging assesses anatomy and pathology, including vascular, infectious, inflammatory, neoplastic, congenital, autoimmune, and traumatic etiologies. The goal of this chapter is to first introduce an imaging approach to anatomy by describing the normal appearance of structures commonly encountered in orbital imaging. The chapter also aims to describe a logical approach to imaging of orbital pathology for diagnosis and surgical planning by reviewing the inherent advantages and disadvantages of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. An overarching goal for the chapter is to highlight the benefits of the different modalities, imaging planes, and imaging techniques as they pertain to various pathologic entities. |
