SummaryMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging technique able to measure the 3D shape of the eye and orbital soft tissue structures noninvasively. This study aims to evaluate the potential of MRIs acquired in the NAKO setting to develop an algorithm to automatically delineate and measure dimensions of human orbital structures. The primary focus is eyeball length and geometry. Secondary objectives are identification of intraocular lens implants and volumetry entire orbital volume including extraocular muscles, the fat compartment and the optic nerve.
