To evaluate key molecular and cellular features of Graves orbitopathy (GO) by simultaneous monitoring of alterations in morphology, inflammatory patterns, and tissue remodeling.To this end, we utilized a murine model of GO induced by immunization with a human thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor A-subunit plasmid. Altogether, 52 mice were used: 27 GOs and 25 controls (Ctrl) immunized with β-galactasidose plasmid. From these, 17 GO and 12 Ctrl mice were subjected to multimodal MRI at 9.4T, whereas 23 mice only underwent histology. Beyond anatomical hydrogen-1 (The present approach permits the comprehensive characterization of orbital tissue and holds the potential for accurate GO diagnosis in the clinical setting.
