MRI for Orbits (Procedures) - Video Lesson

Hey, everyone. Welcome to today's lesson about the orbits as seen in an MRI image. In this lesson, we will discuss the basic anatomy of the orbit, look at proper slice positioning, MRI anatomy, and discuss some imaging challenges associated with this study. Let's get started. The orbital muscles, second cranial nerve or c n two, globe, and retro orbital fat are common structures a technologist should be familiar with. The four main muscles visible on an MR exam of the orbit are the rectus muscles. These are further named by their location. They are the superior rectus, inferior rectus, lateral rectus, and medial rectus. The globe or the eye consist of structures a technologist would need to know, such as the cornea, lens, and retina. It is filled with the jelly like substance known as the vitreous humor. Cranial nerve two or the optic nerve takes visual information.
