Abstract

  • This review documents technical progress in ophthalmic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at ultrahigh fields (UHF, B(0) >/= 7.0 T). The review surveys frontier applications of UHF-MRI tailored for high spatial resolution in vivo imaging of the eye, orbit and optic nerve. Early examples of clinical ophthalmic UHF-MRI including the assessment of melanoma of the choroid membrane and the characterisation of intraocular masses are demonstrated. A concluding section ventures a glance beyond the horizon and explores research promises along with future directions of ophthalmic UHF-MRI.
