Magnetic resonance imaging in ocular pathology.

MRI has become a major diagnostic tool in ophthalmology for evaluation of ocular pathology. There is excellent delineation of anatomy of the ocular globe with MRI, and specific characteristics of derangement of anatomy by pathological processes are well delineated by MRI. Optimum MRI technique for evaluation of ocular pathology were discussed. Various entities of the ocular globe where MRI is useful in the detection and estimation of the extent of the pathological process and their specific MRI characteristics were discussed, including retinoblastoma, ROP, PHPV, uveal melanoma, choroidal hemangioma, and simulating lesions.
