    Orbital fat suppressed and nonfat suppressed magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Orbital postcontrast T1 weighted MR imaging without (Top) and with fat suppression (Bottom). There is enhancement of the left optic nerve. The normal bright fat signal on T1-weighted imaging is suppressed using fat suppression.
