The physician orders an orbital radiologic examination (70200) to assess for fractures., A metal worker complains of eye pain and a feeling of something in their eye after a piece of metal flew off a grinder. An orbital radiologic examination (70200) is performed to locate and identify any foreign bodies., A patient with a history of orbital cellulitis experiences worsening symptoms. A complete orbital radiologic examination (70200) is ordered to evaluate the extent of the infection and rule out any associated abscesses.
