title: Orbital lesions with low signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging.
abstract: The purpose of the present review is to discuss and display orbital lesions that demonstrate hypo-intense signal on T2-weighted images (T2WI). The physical basis for hypo-intense signal on T2WI produced by various substances is discussed. Orbital lesions that are hypo-intense on T2WI are subsequently reviewed, including a discussion on their composition as well as relevant clinical and imaging clues that may aid in their diagnosis.
