✦ Synopsis
The use of coronal tomograms for CT scanning of the orbits is emphasized and the technic for patient positioning is described. Normal tomographic images are described and the contribution of coronal scans to a correct diagnosis is stressed in the light of 16 pathological cases. Coronal tomograms are especially valuable to show the regions of the orbital floor and roof and complement axial scanning.

Computed tomography (CT) is an extremely valuable noninvasive method for evaluating orbital soft-tissue structures. The possibility of scanning in the coronal plane has added a new dimension to the study. Direct enlargement viewing of scans on the display console has disclosed minute anatomic and pa
Although radiographs, arthrography, tomography, and computed tomography can all be used to diagnose osteochondritis dissecans of the talus, these imaging methods may not demonstrate whether an undisplaced osteochondral fragment has any attachment to the articular cartilage or bony bed of the talus.
Frontal tomograms of the orbits can be obtained with the EMI CT 1010 head scanner, retaining the fine matrix (320 X 320) and thin slice options. Only minor modifications are required.
