title: Diagnostic neuroimaging in neuro-ophthalmic disorders.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Neuroimaging studies are a valuable diagnostic tool in the evaluation of a patient with neuro-ophthalmic disease. This review provides an approach to selecting an appropriate imaging study and interpreting the results.
  
  
  RESULTS
  MRI and CT are the imaging studies most commonly employed in neuro-ophthalmology. Each modality has unique strengths that make it particularly suitable in certain clinical situations.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In the current practice of neuro-ophthalmology, the clinician must be familiar with the uses and limitations of neuroimaging studies so they can be used appropriately to improve diagnostic accuracy.
