Function and structure of the eye muscles in myasthenia
This thesis examines structural and functional abnormalities of extraocular muscles in myasthenia gravis using quantitative MRI. Advanced imaging approaches are used to characterize muscle composition, contractile behavior, and fatigue-related functional impairment. The findings identify disease-associated imaging signatures that correlate with clinical manifestations such as ptosis and ophthalmoparesis. The work proposes MRI-derived biomarkers to improve diagnosis, phenotyping, and longitudinal monitoring in neuromuscular ophthalmology.
