No, an orbit MRI is a different study. To give you an example using the brain itself, my first MRI was a brain MRI -- however, it was a
pituitary study. So, when I got to the MS specialist, back into the tube I went. Another brain MRI but with different imaging. And
in-between that, my neuro-ophthalmologist ordered an orbital MRI. I also learned from another board that in an orbital MRI there is a specific thing they have to do with contrast -- I will see if I can find the thread but I had wondered about some use of the word "fat".
