The advent of high field strength MRI and surface coils has greatly revolutionised ocular imaging. The refinement in technology and high resolution coils has greatly enhanced the accuracy of the diagnosis. Ultrasound and MRI complement each other and help the radiologist in making a reliable diagnosis and thereby better patient management.
