Orbital space-occupying lesions: role of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. An analysis of 145 cases

Radiol Clin North Am. 1987 May;25(3):529-59.

Abstract

CT and MRI of the orbit have significantly enhanced the diagnosis of orbital lesions. Because of these techniques, disorders of the globe, structures within the bony orbit, surrounding structures of the eye, and optic pathways can now be diagnosed with much more certainty than before.
