CT Scan of the Orbit at Surya Diagnostics Centre — Nanded City, Pune

Why a CT Scan of the Orbit?

A CT scan of the orbits is a specialised imaging test that focuses on the eye sockets (orbits), surrounding soft tissues, eye muscles, optic nerves and adjacent bone structures. It provides much greater detail than a standard X-ray. This scan is typically recommended for:

  • Sudden or unexplained changes in vision (blurred vision, double vision)

  • Suspected fractures of the orbital bones (after trauma)

  • Swelling or masses behind or around the eye

  • Infections involving the orbit or adjacent sinuses

  • Evaluation of the optic nerve, eye muscles (for e.g., in thyroid eye disease)

  • Pre-surgical or post-surgical assessment of orbital structures

At Surya Diagnostics Centre in Nanded City, Pune, the advanced CT equipment enables detailed imaging to assist your doctor in precise diagnosis and management.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Here’s how the process unfolds at Surya Diagnostics:

  1. Appointment & Arrival: Bring your referral slip (if your doctor has given one), previous relevant imaging (if any), and any required documentation.

  2. Registration & Preparation: On arrival, you’ll register at the reception. You’ll be asked about any known allergies (especially if contrast is needed), and whether you have any kidney issues (if contrast is being considered).

  3. Positioning for the Scan: You’ll lie on the CT table; for an orbital scan, your head is positioned carefully so that the eye sockets are aligned correctly. You’ll be asked to stay still; sometimes you might hold your breath for a moment if there’s adjacent sinus or skull base imaging.

  4. Image Acquisition: The CT machine acquires thin sliced images of the orbits — both soft tissue and bones — which are then reconstructed for the radiologist’s review. The high-resolution CT scanner at the centre ensures good clarity of structures.

  5. Completion and Reporting: After the scan you can leave (unless special monitoring is needed). The radiologist prepares a detailed report, which will be sent to your referring doctor. You can collect the CD/USB images if requested.

  6. Follow-up: Your doctor will review the findings, and together you will decide on next steps — which might include specialist referral (ophthalmology, ENT, neurology), further scans, or treatment.

Preparation Tips & Considerations

  • Metal objects: Remove any jewelry, hairclips, glasses before the scan (especially important around the head/neck region).

  • Contrast use: If your doctor has requested a contrast-enhanced CT orbit (to assess vessels, enhanced lesions), you might need to fast for a few hours and ensure normal kidney parameters.

  • Radiation exposure: As with any CT scan, there is exposure to ionising radiation; the centre uses modern equipment and protocols to minimise dose while achieving diagnostic quality.

  • Motion artefact: Because the orbits are small and detailed structures, it’s important to keep still during the scan to ensure clear images.

  • Follow instructions: The technologist may ask you to hold your breath or not move; obeying these instructions improves image quality.
