In vivo visualization of the optic nerve (ON) by computed tomography (CT) has important clinical applications, both realized and potential. An accurate CT analysis of the ON is, however, hampered by a number of technical limitations. Sinuosity and gaze-shift-related motility of the ON tend to increase the difficulties of demonstrating in a consistently satisfactory fashion this anatomical structure. Nevertheless, if rigid imaging criteria are followed, adequate visualization of the ON may be attained in the majority of patients. Simultaneous visualization of the ON and the eyeball permits establishment of a neuroocular index for clinical use.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009900 Optic Nerve The 2nd cranial nerve which conveys visual information from the RETINA to the brain. The nerve carries the axons of the RETINAL GANGLION CELLS which sort at the OPTIC CHIASM and continue via the OPTIC TRACTS to the brain. The largest projection is to the lateral geniculate nuclei; other targets include the SUPERIOR COLLICULI and the SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEI. Though known as the second cranial nerve, it is considered part of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
