Eye Socket, Pituitary or Ear CT Scan (with and without contrast)

This is a CT scan aimed at a small, crowded part of the head — the eye sockets, the bony pocket that holds the pituitary gland, or the back compartment of the skull — scanned twice, once plain and again after iodine contrast is injected. Comparing the two sets is what shows which tissue takes up contrast and which does not.
