Overview
On MRI scan of the head, orbital cellulitis is characterized by hypointense signal on T1-weighted fat-suppressed images, and hyperintense signal on T2-weighted fat-suppressed images.[1] MRI has demonstrated equivalence to CT in diagnosing orbital disease and is equally accepted as a gold standard diagnostic imaging modality.[2][3] Although an MRI scan is safer in children since there is no radiation exposure, the long acquisition time and the need for prolonged sedation make CT scans the imaging modality of choice.[2][4]
MRI
Key MRI Findings in Orbital Cellulitis
On MRI scan of the head, orbital cellulitis is characterized by hypointense signal on T1-weighted images, and hyperintense signal on T2-weighted images.[1] MRI has demonstrated equivilance to CT in diagnosing orbital disease and is equally accepted as a gold standard diagnostic imaging modality.[2][3] Although an MRI scan is safer in children since there is no radiation exposure, the long acquisition time and the need for prolonged sedation make CT scan the imaging modality of choice.[4] After a diagnosis is made, MRI has shown superiority in assessing the severity of intracranial involvement and abscess border visualization.[5]
MRI scans characterize subperiosteal and orbital abscesses on T1-weighted images with contrast as a rim-enhancing lesion.[1] Additionally, diffuse weighted imaging (DWI) has shown promise of a non-contrast option for detection of orbital cellulitis and abscesses on MRI.[2][3][6][7][8]
