[Possibilities for the demonstration and differentiation of eye muscle changes in endocrine orbitopathy and ocular myositis using nuclear magnetic resonance tomography].
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tomography is a new imaging technique which at present is still not very common in ophthalmology. Improvement of contrast and resolution by use of surface coils produces high-quality pictures which open up completely new possibilities in orbital diagnosis. This article explains the procedure and describes its use in some cases of Graves' disease and ocular myositis. Differential diagnostic possibilities in orbital diseases are discussed.
