The diagnostic performance comparison between T2 mapping and Dixon against the activity of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of T2 mapping and Dixon in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy's disease activity.

Methods

Published studies were collected by systematically searching the databases PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Medline, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP, and WANFANG. The sensitivities, specificities, likelihood ratios, and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) were confirmed. The symmetric receiver operator characteristic curve (SROC) was used to assess the threshold of T2 mapping and Dixon. Fagan's nomogram was drawn. Meta-regression and subgroup analyses were applied to distinguish the sources of heterogeneity among the included studies. The review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for
