About This Test
This Orbit Axial & Coronal Both scan is a non-contrast imaging study designed to evaluate the orbital region with high clarity in two complimentary planes. Together, the axial (horizontal) and coronal (vertical) views provide a complete structural assessment of the eyes, optic nerves, extraocular muscles, orbital fat, lacrimal glands, and surrounding bone structures. The test is widely used to diagnose orbital injuries, fractures, foreign bodies, congenital anomalies, and conditions like proptosis or thyroid-associated orbitopathy. It also helps detect sinus-related complications affecting the orbit, such as ethmoid sinusitis extending into orbital tissues. Since the scan is performed without contrast, it is ideal for trauma, bony assessment, and patients who cannot receive contrast. The high-resolution cross-sectional images ensure accurate diagnosis, aiding ophthalmologists and radiologists in planning further management. This quick, painless procedure provides essential information for effective evaluation of orbital diseases and emergencies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ans-CT scan uses X rays to create detailed images of the inside of the body.
Ans -No. It is completely painless. You just need to lie still..
Some scans need contrast dye for clearer images. Your doctor will advise based on your
condition.
condition.
Ans- Most scans take 5–10 minutes.
Ans-Yes. CT scan is a safe imaging test. However, it exposes you to a small dose of radiation. For most people, such a small potential risk far outweighs the benefits, in terms of saving your life. The radiation dose is controlled and kept within safe limits.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
