Fig. 1

Schematic diagrams for measurements of LG on rs-EPI-based DTI. Figure a showed the axial fat-suppressed T2-weighted imaging in a 54-year old male with TAO. Figure b and c showed the corresponding axial color-coded FA and ADC maps, respectively. A polygonal region of interest was manually set on each LG locating the maximum cross-section, with careful avoidance of surrounding tissues. LG: lacrimal gland, rs-EPI-based DTI: readout-segmented echo-planar imaging-based diffusion tensor imaging, TAO: thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy, FA: fractional anisotropy, ADC: apparent diffusion coefficient
