There are three sections in the book. The first section is a discussion of imaging techniques, which includes plain film radiography and multidirectional tomography of the orbit, computed tomography (CT) of the orbit and its use in the evaluation of ocular motility disorders, ultrasonography of the eye and orbit, investigation of the orbit by contrast techniques (which includes a brief review of angiography), the lachrimal drainage system, foreign body localization, and magnetic resonance imaging of the eye and orbit. There is extensive discussion of CT throughout the book. The second section is devoted to the role of these imaging methods in the evaluation of ophthalmic disorders. A discussion of congenital anomalies is useful for those centers that are exposed to unusual congenital anomalies and syndromes. Also included is evaluation of exophthalmous and thyroid ophthamalopathy, orbital tumors, lesions involving the visual pathways, CT assessment of paraorbital pathology (including basal and squamous cell tumors of the face), infection of the orbit, and orbital trauma. The third section is an overview of radiation therapy and malignant intraoccular tumors.
