Quasicoronal MRI of right orbit with thyroid ophthalmopathy, post orbital decompression that caused cicatrization around the lateral rectus muscle. Detail with T2FSE is comparable to T1 with intravenous gadodiamide contrast, which shortens both T1 and T2. Contrast enhancement occurs in tissues in proportion to blood flow. T2FSE also gives bright signal in EOM regions that enhance with contrast in T1 imaging, which may obviate the need for contrast injection for demonstration of extraocular muscle inflammation.
