[X-ray diagnostic procedures for orbital tumors].

Area of Science:

• Ophthalmology
• Radiology
• Medical Imaging

Background:

• Orbital tumors present diagnostic challenges.
• Accurate differentiation and etiological assessment are crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the combined efficacy of sonography and computed tomography in diagnosing orbital tumors.
• To assess the role of these imaging modalities in determining tumor etiology.

Main Methods:

• Utilized sonography (A-mode and B-mode) for orbital imaging.
• Employed computed tomography with direct axial and coronal cuts.
• Correlated imaging findings with histopathological diagnoses where available.

Main Results:

• The combined imaging approach demonstrated excellent differentiation capabilities for most orbital tumors.
• Significant improvement in information regarding the etiology of orbital lesions was observed.
• High diagnostic accuracy was achieved in distinguishing between various tumor types.

Conclusions:

• Sonography and computed tomography are highly effective when used together for orbital tumor evaluation.
• This combined imaging strategy enhances diagnostic precision and provides valuable etiological insights, aiding clinical decision-making.
