The utility of orbital imaging in the evaluation of orbital disease.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study investigates the accuracy of either computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the evaluation of various orbital diseases.

Methods

We collected 126 CT scans and 65 MRI scans from 144 subjects and asked two radiologists to interpret the images without clinical information. Images included 14 with a clinical diagnosis of orbital infection, 144 with orbital inflammation, and 33 with orbital neoplasm. The inflammatory diseases included thyroid eye disease (TED, n = 69), non-specific orbital inflammation (NSOI, n = 44), IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD, n = 15), sarcoidosis (Sarcoid, n = 9), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA, n = 5), and Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD, n = 2).

Results

The balanced accuracy (BA) for the two radiol
