SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Nineteen patients underwent extraocular muscle thickness measurements by US and MRI, reflectivity by US and signal-intensity ratio by MRI. There were also twelve US control subjects. RESULTS: US median thicknesses were greater than in controls. Correlation was found between US and MRI in the median thickness of the left eye rectus medial muscle as well as between signal-intensity ratio (SIR) and thickness by US. An inverse correlation was found between reflectivity and SIR in the inferior and lateral rectus. On associating the tests for detecting activity the best results were obtained with CAS plus MRI (sensitivity 75%), and US and MRI (positive predictive value 77% and specificity 80%). CONCLUSION: CAS and US results showed poor correlation with MRI results suggesting that they cannot replace each other but when combined these methods can improve the evaluation of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0004-27302011000300002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,9,20]],"date-time":"2011-09-20T13:38:19Z","timestamp":1316525899000},"page":"184-188","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Ultrasonography
