Study of Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Optic Nerve

Objective To evaluate MRI methods of optic nerve and the findings of normal optic nerve on MRI. Methods Normal optic nerves in 40 cases were studied with Philips ACS-NT15 1.5T MR system and head quadrature coil. The sequences included T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) of spin echo and Turbo spin echo T2-weighted imaging (TSE T2WI) with or without SPIR (Spectral Presatuation with Inversion Recovery). The axial sections and the sagittal sections parallel to optic nerve, and the coronal sections perpendicular to optic nerve were obtained. Results Optic nerves with even dimension from orbital end to optic tracts could be showed on MRI. Compared to CSF, optic nerves appeared as hyperintense signal on SE T1WI and hypointense signal on TSE with or without SPIR T2WI. The signal intensity of normal optic nerves was similar to that of the white matter on SE T1WI and TSE T2WI. The homogeneous signal of optic nerves was showed on TSE SPIR T2WI at the coronal sections perpendicular to optic nerve. The anatomy of the whole optic nerves was showed on axial section and sagittal section parallel to optic nerve on SE T1WI and TSE T2WI. Conclusions Optic nerves could be showed on MRI and the signal of it could be showed better on TSE+SPIR T2WI at coronal section perpendicular to optic nerve.
