2. CT examination of the eye and orbital area

A method of examining the eye and orbital area using CT. CT scans can provide a high-resolution, cross-sectional image and grayscale eye image, which uses X-rays as energy to display layer images of the human body. CT is now very popular, providing an excellent examination method for the diagnosis of ophthalmic diseases. However, due to various reasons, there are still many problems in the CT analysis and diagnosis of ocular lesions. Ultrasound is superior to CT in diagnosing intraocular diseases, while CT is superior to ultrasound in diagnosing orbital lesions.
