The application of CT scanning to the diagnosis of orbital disease is considered in the context of the general differential diagnosis of unilateral exophthalmos. The advantages of using a body scanner for orbital diagnosis are stressed, coupled with the high resolution facility available with the EMI CT 5005 machine. In addition to orbital space-occupying lesions and dysthyroid disease, secondary involvement of the orbit by paranasal sinus and middle fossa pathology is described, and the value of CT considered in respect to these lesions. The relationship of CT to other modalities of orbital investigation is discussed and their current place in orbital diagnosis evaluated.
在单侧眼球突出的一般鉴别诊断背景下，考虑CT扫描在眼眶疾病诊断中的应用。强调了使用全身扫描仪进行眼眶诊断的优点，以及EMI CT 5005机器所具备的高分辨率功能。除了眼眶占位性病变和甲状腺功能异常疾病外，还描述了鼻窦和中颅窝病变继发累及眼眶的情况，并探讨了CT对于这些病变的诊断价值。讨论了CT与眼眶其他检查方法的关系，并评估了它们目前在眼眶诊断中的地位。
