MRI findings of intraocular diseases

MRI findings of intra-ocular lesion were studied on seven cases : two cases of choroidal malignant melanoma, one case of choroidal tumor, two cases of retinal detachment with vitreous hemorrhage, and two cases of choroidal detachment. Intraocular lesions were clearly visualized by T1 weighted MRI which was of great benefit in visualizing morphological changes. T2 weighted images could not visualize morphological changes very well, but had some merits in differentiating the ocular pathology. MRI was a very useful examination for intra-ocular lesions.
