In this issue of the AJNR (page 269), Schellhass et al prompt this reader to reflect on the
nature of science, and the concept of the hypothesis. In many ways, one has to admire this …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Our purpose was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of
clinical versus radiographic screening for an orbital foreign body before MR imaging …

Before undergoing MR imaging at our institution, all patients with potential occupational,
recreational, or educational exposure or known accidental exposure to kinetic metal …

Magnetic resonance imaging of patients with a metallic Intra-Orbital Foreign Body (IOFB)
may be hazardous. Much controversy exists with regard to the optimum initial screening …

In this issue, Williamson et al.[1] report their experience regarding the prevalence and value
of plain film radiography and CT for screening patients with suspected metallic foreign …

OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the imaging
modality of choice for brain tumors and other lesions of the central nervous system …

Intraorbital foreign bodies (IOFBs) are a common occurrence worldwide and happen at a
frequency of once in every 6 cases of orbital trauma. An orbital foreign body may produce a …

Radiological imaging evaluation is crucial in the aid of clinical assessment in patients with
orbital trauma or nontraumatic orbital emergencies. In the setting of orbital trauma, clinical …

Imaging analysis of orbital diseases is facilitated by a compartmental approach that
establishes differential diagnoses on the basis of the location of the process within the orbit …

The purpose of this study was to survey the methods used by academic institutions for
identifying patients who might have metallic foreign bodies or other contraindications to MR …
