Orbit

  • Chapter

Abstract

Before the introduction of advanced imaging methods it was barely possible to visualize the orbit and its contents, such as the eyeball, muscles, vessels, optic nerve, and optic chiasm [37]. Conventional plain radiography is helpful in detecting traumatic orbital lesions and in visualizing bony structures, but often fails to identify tumors or inflammatory processes and their extension to neighboring structures [22].
