Impact of Scan Location on Visualization Characteristics of the Lateral Rectus–Superior Rectus Band with High-Resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging

The LR-SR band is most consistently visualized on coronal MRI images obtained anterior to the globe-optic nerve junction, while degenerative changes are more frequently observed in posterior scan locations. Establishing and reporting a standardized coronal imaging plane referenced to a consistent anatomic landmark may improve reproducibility and comparability of the LR-SR band across studies and allow for more robust clinical interpretation.

Abstract

The LR-SR band is most consistently visualized on coronal MRI images obtained anterior to the globe-optic nerve junction, while degenerative changes are more frequently observed in posterior scan locations. Establishing and reporting a standardized coronal imaging plane referenced to a consistent anatomic landmark may improve reproducibility and comparability of the LR-SR band across studies and allow for more robust clinical interpretation.
