Cone-beam computed tomography of the orbit and optic canal volumes

The aim of this study was to measure orbital and optic canal volumes by means of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of human skulls as a prerequisite for estimating alterations of this bony region by this method. A total of 200 orbits of 100 adult individuals were investigated. These patients had no history of orbital trauma, dysplasia, or other diseases with a putative effect on orbital growth (female/male = 50/50; age: 20–70 years). Each 10...
