About this test
What is CT Brain & Orbits?
CT Brain and Orbits is a computed tomography examination that produces detailed cross-sectional images of the brain, eye sockets (orbits) and surrounding structures. It uses X-rays and computer processing to help doctors assess bones, soft tissues and anatomical abnormalities in the head and orbital region. The use of contrast material depends on the clinical indication and prescribed scan protocol.
Why is CT Brain & Orbits Performed?
A doctor may recommend this examination to investigate symptoms or suspected conditions affecting the brain, eyes or surrounding orbital structures. It may be advised following certain injuries or when further evaluation of an orbital or intracranial abnormality is required.
What Can the Scan Help Evaluate?
- Fractures involving the orbital bones
- Injuries affecting the eye sockets and surrounding structures
- Abnormalities involving the orbital bones and tissues
- Selected causes of eye pain, swelling or protrusion
- Foreign bodies in the orbital region
- Structural abnormalities of the brain
- Other suspected abnormalities involving the head and orbital region
How is the Scan Performed?
The patient lies on the CT scanner table with the head positioned appropriately. The scanner acquires images of the brain and orbital region from different angles. The patient may be asked to remain still during the examination to help obtain clear images. Contrast material may be used when indicated by the referring doctor and radiology protocol.
Preparation Before the Scan
- Inform the radiology team about your symptoms, medical history and reason for the examination.
- Bring previous CT, MRI or eye-related investigation reports, if available.
- Inform the team if you are pregnant or may be pregnant.
