Head and neck MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of uveal melanoma. Head and neck MRI scan is diagnostic of uveal melanoma. On [[head]] and [[neck]] [[MRI]], uveal melanoma is characterized by isointense to hypointense mass on T1-weighted MRI and hyperintense mass on T2-weighted MRI.<ref name="radio">  Retinoblastoma.

MRI is the modality of choice for assessment of malignant uveal melanomas 5-6.
T1 or PD
uveal melanomas are seen as moderately high signal mass lesion
associated exudative retinal detachment is moderately high signal
T2
moderately low signal mass lesion
associated exudative retinal detachment is moderately high signal
haemorrhagic subretinal fluid has variable signal pattern
T1 C+ (Gd)
tumours enhance
fat suppression useful in detecting extraocular extention

*The mass usually enhances relatively homogeneously when small
*Larger tumors often have areas of necrosis, rendering it heterogeneous
*Linear enhancement of the choroid beyond the margins of the tumour should raise the possibility of choroidal involvement, although inflammation may lead to similar appearance
*Enhancement of the anterior chamber need not represent tumour involvement, with hyperaemia, uveitis and iris neovascularisation all leading to asymmetric enhancement
*Careful assessment of the optic disc and optic nerve should be carried out to assess for involvement
*Extra-ocular extension through the sclera will be visible as interruption of the otherwise hypointense non-enhancing sclera by enhancing tumour

Overview

MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of uveal melanoma. Findings on MRI suggestive of uveal melanoma include high intensity mass lesion (due to melanin and hemorrhage) on T1, and low intensity mass lesion on T2. The lesion enhances with gadolinium.
