Whole-orbit-based multiparametric assessment of disease activity of thyroid eye disease on Dixon MRI.
International Ophthalmology 2024 May 4
PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the diagnostic value of whole-orbit-based multiparametric assessment on Dixon MRI for the evaluation of the thyroid eye disease (TED) activity.
METHODS: The retrospective study enrolled patients diagnosed as TED and obtained their axial and coronal Dixon MRI scans. Multiparameters were assessed, including water fraction (WF), fat fraction (FF) of extraocular muscles (EOMs), orbital fat (OF), and lacrimal gland (LG). The thickness of OF and herniation of LG were also measured. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression was applied to construct prediction models based on single or multiple structures. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was also implemented.
RESULTS: Univariable logistic analysis revealed significant differences in water fraction (WF) of the superior rectus (P = 0.018), fat fraction (FF) of the medial rectus (P = 0.029), WF of OF (P = 0.004), and herniation of LG (P = 0.012) between the active and inactive TED phases. Multivariable logistic analysis and corresponding receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis of each structure attained the area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.774, 0.771, and 0.729 for EOMs, OF, and LG, respectively, while the combination of the four imaging parameters generated a final AUC of 0.909.
CONCLUSIONS: Dixon MRI may be used for fine multiparametric assessment of multiple orbital structures. The whole-orbit-based model improves the diagnostic performance of TED activity evaluation.
