The correlations between ADCmean or △ADC of each EOM and clinical activity score (CAS) were assessed.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In analysis group, ADCmean differed between active and inactive eyes and positively correlated with CAS in IR (P < 0.05), not in SR,LR and MR(all p > 0.05). While △ADC differed between two groups and negatively correlated with CAS in all EOMs (all P < 0.05). ADCmean predicted active disease at cut-off value of 1259.3 × 10<sup>-6</sup>mm<sup>2</sup>s<sup>-1</sup> with sensitivity of 66.7% and specificity of 71.4% in IR[area under curve = 0.667, P < 0.05]. △ADC predicted disease activity in all EOMs [area under curve 0.658-0.746,all P < 0.05]. The cut-off values of △ADC were 382, 823,520 and 572 × 10<sup>-6</sup>mm<sup>2</sup>s<sup>-1</sup> with sensitivity of 80.0%, 50.0%, 43.3%, 83.3% and specificity of 67.9%, 85.7%, 89.3%, 60.7% in SR, IR, MR, and LR respectively. There were no significant differences in the predictive efficacy among all cut-off values.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Our results showed that DTI is a valuable tool in the assessment of disease activity of TED. Both ADCmean of IR and △ADC of all four EOMs can be used in discriminating disease activity with the same predictive power.</p>","PeriodicalId":9152,"journal":{"name":"BMC Endocrine Disorders","volume":"24 1","pages":"276"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11668034/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142880663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
