Abstract in brief

This study used high-resolution MRI to compare scalp and hair follicle features between patients with tertiary androgenetic alopecia, severe alopecia areata, and healthy volunteers, finding significant differences in tissue layer thickness and follicle characteristics.
The key factor in distinguishing between the two conditions was the thickness of the subcutaneous tissue layer, with future diagnosis potentially relying on this measurement, which showed high accuracy in the model (area under the ROC curve of 0.886).
High-resolution MRI proved useful for visualizing anatomical changes in the scalp and hair follicles, offering a non-invasive way to help differentiate between types of hair loss, specifically tertiary androgenetic alopecia and severe alopecia areata.]
