Muscle T2s were greater in the patient group than controls (75.6 ± 7.0 ms, vs. 55.2 ± 4.1 ms respectively, p \u003c 0.001; Fig. 2G, h, J; Table 3). Consistent individual EOM cross-sectional area and T2 differences were observed (Fig. 1B and C). Quantitative differences in mean ROEM, EOM cross-sectional area and T2 were consistently significant when each muscle was assessed individually (all p \u003c 0.01). There was no significant quantitative difference in EOM cross-sectional area and T2 detected between the right and left orbit in either patients or controls, or between the CPEO and KSS subgroups, when muscles were compared both individually and collectively.","tracks":[]}
