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

This is a CT scan aimed at one small, bony region of the skull — the eye sockets, the pocket of bone that holds the pituitary gland, or the ear and the dense bone around it. It is done without injected contrast, so it is mainly a study of bone and shape rather than of blood flow.
