About This Test
The Orbit & Brain CT scan is a detailed imaging study designed to evaluate the eyes, surrounding orbital structures, and the brain in a single examination. This scan provides high-resolution images to assess conditions affecting the orbits, optic nerves, extraocular muscles, lacrimal glands, bony orbital walls, as well as intracranial structures including the brain parenchyma, ventricles, and major blood vessels. It is commonly used in cases of trauma, fractures, tumors, infections, swelling, proptosis, visual disturbances, headaches, or neurological symptoms. Scanning both regions together allows clinicians to detect abnormalities that may involve both the orbit and intracranial structures, such as orbital tumors extending into the brain or vascular lesions. “Scan Charges Only” indicates that the cost includes only the CT imaging procedure, excluding contrast or additional consumables. This comprehensive study aids in accurate diagnosis, guides treatment planning, and supports timely medical or surgical intervention for complex orbital and brain conditions.

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.
