Abstract

Objective To found an accurate method in measuring the volume of orbital fat. Methods The volumes of orbit and orbital fat were measured by ImageJ software respectively. Manual and semi-automatic method were both used to display the margin of the orbit. Results The outcome of semi-automatic method was almost the same as the outcome of the manual method, and the former was more accurate and needed less time. Conclusions The volumes of orbit and orbital fat can be measured by ImageJ software accurately.
