MR imaging of optic nerve lesions: value of gadopentetate dimeglumine and fat-suppression technique.
AJNR. American Journal of Neuroradiology 1990 July
Eleven patients with known or suspected optic nerve lesions and eight normal subjects were examined with spin-echo technique at 1.5 T with unenhanced T1-weighted imaging, IV gadopentetate-dimeglumine-enhanced T1-weighted imaging, and enhanced T1-weighted imaging with fat suppression. Two pathologically proved and four presumed optic nerve meningiomas demonstrated significant enhancement and were best seen with the fat-suppression technique. None of the three presumed optic nerve gliomas nor the optic nerves of normal subjects demonstrated qualitative enhancement. We conclude that the use of a fat-suppression technique with gadopentetate dimeglumine enhancement improves delineation of enhancing optic nerve lesions. This technique should be useful for evaluating other anatomic regions where enhancing tissue marginates fat.
