    Magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomographic (CT) imaging revealed optic chiasm enlargement in all eight cases. MR imaging showed signal changes, aiding in the detection of hematoma and potential tumor spread.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroradiology
    • Neuro-ophthalmology
    • Medical imaging

    Background:

    • The optic chiasm is a critical neuroanatomical structure.
    • Accurate imaging is essential for diagnosing lesions affecting the optic chiasm.
    • Evaluating optic chiasm lesions requires advanced imaging techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of 0.5 T magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomographic (CT) imaging in visualizing optic chiasm lesions.
    • To compare the diagnostic capabilities of MR and CT for optic chiasm pathology.
    • To identify specific imaging features indicative of different pathologies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of eight patients with verified optic chiasm lesions.
    • Utilized 0.5 T MR scanners and GE 9800/8800 CT scanners.

  • Correlated imaging findings with clinical data.

    • Main Results:

    • All eight cases demonstrated optic chiasm enlargement on both MR and CT.
    • MR imaging revealed signal changes compared to brain tissue in seven cases.
    • Specific findings included a signal consistent with hematoma in one case and abnormal T2-weighted signals suggesting tumor spread in another.
    • MR resolution was comparable or superior to CT, with sagittal views proving particularly useful.

    Conclusions:

    • 0.5 T MR imaging is a valuable tool for evaluating optic chiasm lesions, offering comparable or superior resolution to CT.
    • MR imaging can detect signal abnormalities indicative of specific pathologies like hematoma and tumor infiltration.
    • Sagittal views on MR are highly beneficial for assessing lesions in this anatomical region.
