title: Detection of optic nerve lesions in optic neuritis using frequency-selective fat-saturation sequences.
abstract: MRI was performed on seven patients with acute optic neuritis, using two sequences which suppress the signal from orbital fat: frequency-selective fat-saturation and inversion recovery with a short inversion time. Lesions were seen on both sequences in all the symptomatic optic nerves studied.
