Computational tomography (CT) is a well-documented modality in the workup of proptosis. We present a case of proptosis due to increased orbital fat in an obese patient. We review the literature to discuss the most likely causes of increased orbital fat, and we discuss the utility of CT imaging in assessing this pathology.

Pet Ct

Summary:PET is being considered a diagnostic commodity in clinical practice worldwide and thus receives increasing attention by health insurances and governmental organizations. In Germany, however, neither PET nor PET/CT are subject to reimbursement. This renders clinical PET and PET/CT imaging a challenge both in a general hospital environment and in private practice. This article describes briefly these challenges, which are not solely related to turf battles and associated costs.
