Hertel-exophthalmometry-like multi-detector-row-CT-exophthalmometry: inter-disciplinary inter-observer reproducibility of measurements.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate the interdisciplinary interobserver reproducibility of Hertel-exophthalmometry-like protrusion measurements on multidetector-row-computed-tomography- (MDCT-) images of the orbit to facilitate structured evaluation of the orbit and mid-face.

Methods

Respective reproducibility of base-length along the interfronto-zygomatic line, right and left ocular protrusion, and deriving interocular difference was measured in this retrospective (04/2009-03/2020) single-centre observational study. MDCT-series and slice-positions were selected independently, using picture-archiving-and-communication-system- (PACS-) tools on tilt-corrected axial MDCT-images (slice-thickness 0.6-3.0 mm, window/centre 350/50 HU) in 37 selected adult patients (24 female, age 57 ± 13 yea
