Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has long been considered a workhorse MR imaging pulse
sequence for neuroimaging, particularly in the realm of stroke imaging. Over the past …

Objective Summarise the published evidence on otitis media and associated hearing loss in
low to middle-income countries (LMIC) and disadvantaged populations. Data sources …

Abstract Chronic suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) is inflammation of the middle ear mucosa
and mastoid space that lasts more than 2 months characterized by perforation of the …

Objective The purpose of this meta‐analysis was to compare the efficiency of high‐
resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance …

Background Fusion of diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) to computed tomography (CT) has
been touted as a possible technique to improve cholesteatomas localization. This study set …

Background Several research studies have demonstrated the utility of diffusion-weighted
imaging (DWI) in detecting middle ear cholesteatomas, especially with the non-echoplanar …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The high diagnostic value of DWI for cholesteatoma
diagnostics is undisputed. This study compares the diagnostic value of readout-segmented …

Purpose This study is to compare the accuracy of 2D BLADE turbo gradient-and spin-echo
imaging (TGSE BLADE) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with that of readout-segmented …

Opacification in the middle ear and mastoid region can stem from a wide range of factors. In
terms of diagnostic imaging, CT is the primary tool due to its exceptional spatial resolution …

Congenital cholesteatoma is a rare, non-neoplastic lesion that causes conductive hearing
loss in children. It is underrecognized and often diagnosed only when there is an …
