Imaging optic neuritis |
A 2-3 mm STIR sequence through the optic nerves may show the characteristic high-signal intensity of optic neuritis. Gadolinium enhanced T1-weighted fat-saturated (to suppress the bright signal of the orbital fat tissue) images of the orbits show the inflammation of the optic nerve. White matter lesions, which denote a higher risk of developing MS, are typical imaged with FLAIR and T2-weighted images (hyperintense lesions), or show enhancement of T1-weighted images postcontrast.
