Abstract:
Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy(TAO) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease closely related to hy-perthyroidism,but it may also be detected in chronic autoimmune thyroiditis patients with normal thyroid functions or hy-pothyroidism.The clinical manifestations of TAO are diverse,and the progression of the disease varies.Therefore,accu-rately assessing its activity and the extent of lesions is crucial for guiding clinical treatment.Imaging examinations play an important role in the clinical diagnosis and evaluation of TAO.Commonly used methods include computed tomography(CT)and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).In this article,the current applications of CT and MRI to the evaluation of TAO were reviewed,aiming to assist clinicians in selecting appropriate imaging modalities for accurate disease staging and formulating more rational treatment strategies.
