The application value of quantitative analysis of orbital soft tissue parameters on plain CT scans in evaluating the activity of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy

1

Quantitative measurements from CT imaging can effectively assess inflammatory activity in patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO).
2

The study involved 67 TAO patients, with significant differences in orbital soft tissue metrics between active, inactive TAO, and control groups.
3

Key parameters such as superior rectus muscle CSA and intraorbital fat density showed strong correlations with active TAO status.
4

Receiver operating characteristic analysis indicated that specific CT metrics have high diagnostic efficacy for active TAO.
5

CT-based quantitative analysis is a reliable method for evaluating TAO activity, particularly in primary healthcare settings.
