Purpose: To review existing applications of MRI for detecting blood-retinal barrier (BRB) damage and retinal oxygenation response abnormalities in patients with diabetes and highlight new information available from such applications.
Methods: BRB studies were accomplished using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, and the retinal oxygenation response studies were accomplished by monitoring changes in the MRI signal associated with hyperoxic provocation. Participants were patients with diabetes and macular edema, with either no detectable or mild to moderate background retinopathy, as well as non-diabetic individuals of similar age (controls).
