title: The eye.
abstract: In recent years, the growing application of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging evaluation of the orbit and globe have dramatically increased the role of imaging and, hence, that of the radiologist in assessing ophthalmologic disorders. This article discusses magnetic resonance imaging features of the most common and less common ocular pathologies, with particular emphasis on the potential of magnetic resonance imaging in the field of ophthalmology.
