Predicted mean VA width based on MR imaging visibility of the ELDa
| Type of ELD Visualization on High-Resolution MR Imaging | VA Midpoint Width (Axial Plane) | VA Opercular Width (Axial Plane) | VA Midpoint Width (Pöschl Plane) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Predicted Mean (mm) | 95% CI | Predicted Mean (mm) | 95% CI | Predicted Mean (mm) | 95% CI | |
| Type 1 | 0.62 | (0.55–0.69) | 0.92 | (0.80–1.03) | 0.59 | (0.53–0.64) |
| Type 2 | 0.97 | (0.83–1.11) | 1.43 | (1.20–1.67) | 0.83 | (0.72–0.94) |
| Type 3 | 2.08 | (1.92–2.25) | 3.00 | (2.73–3.28) | 1.98 | (1.85–2.11) |
↵a All predicted means differed significantly from each other. For comparison of predicted mean VA opercular width between type 1 and type 2 ears, Tukey-adjusted P = .0004. For comparison of predicted mean VA midpoint width in the Pöschl plane between type 1 and type 2 ears, P = .0005. For all other comparisons, P < .0001.
