Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging in neuro-ophthalmology. Demonstration of a pontine glioma.
The development of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging techniques provides the physician with a non-invasive means of obtaining anatomic, physiologic and biochemical information about neuro-ophthalmic disorders. The authors summarize the principles of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and present a case report illustrating its particular application to the demonstration of a pontine glioma.
