Neuroimaging Clin N Am. 2002 May;12(2):311-24. doi: 10.1016/s1052-5149(02)00012-6.

Abstract

Assessment of the orbit for orbital trauma is best achieved expeditiously with CT in the determination of extent of injury and the presence of foreign body. MR imaging has a limited role but is valuable in examining the optic nerve and globe for injury and has proven to be an adjunct modality in the assessment of orbital injury.
