X-ray – Orbit AP & Lateral is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to examine the bony structures of the eye sockets (orbits). The test includes two views: the anteroposterior (AP) view and the lateral view, providing a comprehensive assessment of the orbital region.

This imaging helps detect fractures, foreign bodies (such as metal fragments), and structural abnormalities around the eyes. It is commonly recommended in cases of facial trauma, eye injury, or before MRI scans to rule out metallic foreign objects.

The test is quick, non-invasive, and provides essential information for diagnosis and treatment planning in ophthalmic and facial conditions.

The purpose of the X-ray – Orbit AP & Lateral test is to:

• Examine the bony structures of the eye sockets
• Detect orbital fractures
• Identify foreign bodies in or around the eyes
• Assess structural abnormalities
• Support diagnosis in eye and facial injuries
