Semi-automatic volume measurement for orbital fat and total extraocular muscles based on Cube FSE-flex sequence in patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy

To investigate the accuracy of two semi-automatic segmentation measurements based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) three-dimensional (3D) Cube fast spin echo (FSE)-flex sequence in phantoms, and to evaluate the feasibility of determining the volumetric alterations of orbital fat (OF) and total extraocular muscles (TEM) in patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) by semi-automatic segmentation.
