    Orbital imaging has evolved from basic radiography to advanced modalities like CT and MRI, enhancing diagnostic capabilities.

  • 2

    MRI is the preferred method for evaluating orbital tumors due to its superior soft tissue resolution and ability to assess lesion characteristics.

  • 3

    CT is useful for assessing bony lesions and acute trauma but is limited in soft tissue differentiation compared to MRI.

  • 4

    Advanced MRI techniques, such as DWI and DCE MRI, improve diagnostic accuracy and are particularly valuable in pediatric patients.

  • 5

    Complementary imaging modalities, including ultrasound and PET-CT, play important roles in specific scenarios and for systemic staging.
