Abstract

A standardized method for the CT exploration of the orbital region has been searched for. This method makes it possible to visualize the entire orbital region with a minimum of 4 tomographic scans, each section 6 mm thick. The reference line chosen for this exploration is parallel to the optic nerve and joins the projection of the inferior border of the orbit on the lateral view with the upper border of the ear to the scalp. After each tomographic scan the patient is moved so that the new scanning line is still parallel to the reference line but distant by 9 mm from the previous one.
