    A new standardized CT scan method allows for complete visualization of the orbital region. This technique uses specific reference lines and patient positioning for detailed orbital imaging.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Accurate CT exploration of the orbital region is crucial for diagnosing various pathologies.
    • Existing CT protocols may lack standardization, potentially affecting diagnostic quality.
    • The orbital region presents anatomical challenges for comprehensive imaging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish a standardized computed tomography (CT) exploration method for the orbital region.
    • To enable visualization of the entire orbital area with minimal scans.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a standardized CT protocol for orbital exploration.
    • Utilized a minimum of 4 tomographic scans, each 6 mm thick.
    • Defined a reference line parallel to the optic nerve for scan alignment.

  • Implemented patient repositioning by 9 mm between scans along the reference line.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed method allows for comprehensive visualization of the entire orbital region.
    • Standardization ensures consistent imaging parameters and patient positioning.
    • The protocol facilitates detailed assessment of orbital structures.

    Conclusions:

    • The described standardized CT method provides a reliable approach for orbital imaging.
    • This technique enhances the diagnostic utility of CT scans in ophthalmology.
    • Further validation in diverse clinical scenarios is warranted.
