To evaluate contrast enhancement of normal extraocular muscles in the orbit.
Noncontrast and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images of the orbit were acquired using a fat-suppression MR technique in eight patients with no orbital disease. Contrast enhancement of 64 extraocular muscles was evaluated and compared with that of 16 temporal muscles.
Compared with temporal muscles, all extraocular muscles markedly enhanced after administration of contrast material.
Because normal extraocular muscles enhanced markedly with contrast material, more attention should be paid to these muscles when using contrast-enhanced, fat-suppressed T1-weighted MR imaging to evaluate pathologic conditions.
评估眼眶内正常眼外肌的对比增强情况。
对8例无眼眶疾病的患者采用脂肪抑制磁共振技术获取眼眶的平扫及增强T1加权图像。评估64条眼外肌的对比增强情况,并与16条颞肌的对比增强情况进行比较。
与颞肌相比,注射对比剂后所有眼外肌均有明显增强。
由于正常眼外肌在注射对比剂后有明显增强,因此在使用对比增强脂肪抑制T1加权磁共振成像评估病理情况时,应更加关注这些肌肉。
