High Resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging With an Orbital Coil as an Alternative to Computed Tomography Scan as the Primary Imaging Modality of Pediatric Orbital Fractures

MRI combined with a microscopy orbital coil is a valuable alternative to the CT scan in the primary diagnosis of pediatric orbital fractures. Floor fractures, and particularly muscle incarceration, should be diagnosed by high resolution MRI combined with a microscopy coil instead of CT to avoid radiation to the lens and to obtain a better soft tissue depiction.
