Assessment of Global Ocular Structure Following Spaceflight Using a Micro-Computed Tomography (Micro-CT) Imaging Method
Published on: October 27, 2020
Abstract:
Conventional radiographs in a patient with an intra-orbital foreign body showed that it was close to the back of the globe. Computed axial tomography showed that it lay beside a swollen and probably lacerated optic nerve. The advantages of CT scanning in the investigation of intra-orbital foreign bodies are outlined.
