Abstract

Objective: to study the possibility for staging of endocrine ophthalmopathy by the method of computed tomography (CT) using the protocol of color mapping. Material and methods. 22 patients (44 orbits) with endocrine ophthalmopathy and 9 patients of the comparison group (18 orbits) have been examined with the help of CT. The densitometric density of retrobulbar fat and its characteristic color were evaluated by densitometry. The changes in the retrobulbar fat were assessed with the help of the scale of the color palette correspondence to the densitometric indices. Results. The method of color mapping revealed differences of fine color characteristics of the retrobulbar fat in patients at different stages of the endocrine ophthalmopathy. Fibrosis foci were found in the early stage of fibrosis without affecting the change in the quantitative indicators of the fat. Conclusion. The complementary additional application of the color mapping protocol proved to be advantageous in the staging of endocrine ophthalmopathy.
