Fast Magnetic Resonance Imaging as Compared to Computed Tomography Scan in Pediatric Orbital Cellulitis Imaging

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Orbital Cellulitis
• Interventions: Device: Computed Tomography Scan; Device: Fast Magnetic Resonance Imaging

• Registration Number: NCT02711436
• Lead Sponsor: Hillel Yaffe Medical Center

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to compare orbital and central nervous system (CNS) imaging with Computed Tomography (CT) scan to that of Fast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Fast MRI) in children with mild, moderate or severe orbital cellulitis with medical indications for imaging.
