Orbital tissue characteristics on MRI of major structures in orbit


Aqueous, vitreous and CSF: Hypointense (dark black) on T1 and hyper intense (bright white) on T2.

Lens: Hyper intense in relation to vitreous (grey) on T1 and low intense (grey) on T2.

Scelera, choroid and retina: All the coats appearing as one signal, intermediate signal (grey) on T1 and hypointense (dark) on T2.

Extraocular muscles: Intermediate intense (grey) on T1 and T2 but enhance with contrast on T1.

Optic nerve: Signal has similar intensity as cerebral white matter (grey) on T1 and T2. Normal optic nerve does not enhance with contrast.

Optic nerve sheath: Contains CSF, hence hypointense (dark) on T1 and hyperintense (bright white) on T2.

Orbital fat: Hyperintense (bright white) on T1 and intermediate (grey) on T2 and becomes dark on fat suppressed images.

Lacrimal gland: Intermediate signals as grey matter (grey) on T1 and T2 and gives mottled appearance of reduced intensity in orbital fat in lacrimal gland area. It enhances with contrast [Figure 12].

Cortical bone: Not well delineated as it contains little free water and appears dark (signal void) in T1 and T2. Hence, orbital apex and intracanalicular portion of optic nerve can be better visualized as compared to that of CT.

Bone marrow: Intense signal on T1 and gray on T2 due to high fat contents.

  1. I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.
