Table I.
Difference in quantitative measurements of lacrimal gland between the GO and HC groups.
| Measurement | GO (66 eyes) | HC (48 eyes) | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Axial width (mm) | 5.7±3.1 | 3.8±0.8 | <0.001 |
| Axial length (mm) | 16.2±3.5 | 14.0±1.9 | <0.001 |
| Axial area (mm2) | 68.74±25.40 | 43.73±18.57 | <0.001 |
| Coronal width (mm) | 5.4±1.0 | 4.3±0.7 | <0.001 |
| Coronal length (mm) | 16.2±3.5 | 15.3±2.7 | 0.150 |
| Coronal area (mm2) | 69.18±22.97 | 54.96±19.11 | 0.001 |
| Volume (cm3) | 0.713±0.300 | 0.445±0.194 | <0.001 |
| SIR | 2.49±0.46 | 2.17±0.32 | <0.001 |
SIR indicates the signal intensity ratio of the lacrimal gland to the ipsilateral temporal muscle on fat-suppressed T2-weighted imaging. GO, Graves' ophthalmopathy; HC, healthy control.
