About This Test
The Orbit CT scan in Axial, Coronal, and Sagittal planes is a detailed imaging study used to evaluate the eyes and surrounding structures from multiple angles. This multi-planar approach provides comprehensive visualization of the orbits, including the eyeballs, optic nerves, extraocular muscles, lacrimal glands, bony orbital walls, and adjacent sinuses. It is commonly performed for conditions such as trauma, fractures, infections, tumors, proptosis, visual disturbances, foreign bodies, and inflammatory disorders like orbital cellulitis. Scanning the orbits in three planes ensures accurate assessment of subtle abnormalities and helps detect fine bone details as well as soft-tissue changes. “Scan Charges Only” indicates that the cost covers only the CT scan itself, excluding contrast material or additional consumables. This high-resolution imaging technique assists clinicians in diagnosing the cause of eye pain, swelling, restricted movement, or vision loss. It also supports pre-operative planning and follow-up evaluation for orbital diseases and injuries, ensuring precise and timely medical management.

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.
