Technique for MRI of ocular motility.
Our goal was to improve existing MR methods used in the assessment of ocular motility in the horizontal gaze direction, by using high resolution 20 s images and an experimental setup that prevents physiologically induced head motion in patients and eye convergence to the fixation point, thus improving the analysis of the relationships between the eyeball and the right muscle bellies in horizontal gaze exploration. The method has potential clinical applications for the diagnosis and/or follow-up of complex strabismus.
