 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 4 Imaging in diagnosis and treatment of Graves Eye Disease in the value of [Abstract] Objective: To evaluate the multi-slice spiral CT and MRI imaging findings of Graves disease in the Eye of the application. Methods: A hospital from 2002 to 2006 the normal functioning of thyroid-associated immune orbit a total of 45 cases of patients with clinical data, 45 patients were all line imaging examination (CT or MRI scan), 13 of which routinely enhanced scanning. All patients with axial or coronal (Sensation 16 only line of axial scans, and then post-processing for coronal and oblique sagittal reconstruction), routinely T1WI, T2WI and fat suppression techniques to enhance use of intravenous injection of gadolinium  2 B-DTPA (Gd  DTPA), sequence to adopt a mainly enhanced T1WI fat suppression. Based on the imaging test results, the 45 patients were statistically processed and classified. Results: In all 45 patients, imaging findings of 25 cases of exophthalmos (54.5%); extraocular muscle thickening (one more) 45 cases (100%); orbital fat infiltration in 10 cases (22%); optic nerve involved in 6 cases; eyes of vascular involvement in 5 cases. The remaining performance (such as the lacrimal gland swelling, eyelid swelling degrees) in 3 cases. The above patients, monocular incidence of 37 cases (87%), incidence of both eyes in 8 cases (17%). The statistical analysis of treatment (P amp;lt;0.05), there is significant. Conclusion: Imaging in Graves Eye Disease diagnosis and efficacy evaluation of significant value. [Keywords:] Eye Graves disease; spiral CT; MRI Graves disease is a kind of affecting the thyroid gland, orbital soft tissue and limb subcutaneous tissue of autoimmune diseases. Whether or not according to the normal thyroid function can be divided into three categories: diffuse goiter with hyperthyroidism, thyroid function to normal, and low thyroid function, three types of patients with ocular manifestations may be.
