title: Orbital metastasis: role of magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography.
abstract: Imaging of ocular and oral metastasis with CT and MRI is discussed. The relative advantages and disadvantages of the two techniques are presented. MRI seems to be particularly useful in discriminating intraocular tumor from retinal detachment. Both techniques depict orbital lesions well.
