The evaluation in activity of Graves’ orbitopathy (GO) has important clinical significance for the treatment decision making and prognosis prediction for GO patients. Some previous studies have a limited comprehensive consideration that GO could involve almost entire orbital region, leading to complex changes in MR quantitative parameter, such as T1, T2, and fat fractions. In this study, we established a combined model including MRI quantitative parameters concerning multiple tissues of eyes and multiple sequences to distinguish active GO. And it was better than using a certain parameter alone to evaluate GO activity.
