BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cochlear nerve deficiency (CND), including aplasia and
hypoplasia, is a rare cause of congenital hearing loss. The purpose of this study was to …

Although conventional structural MRI provides vital information in the evaluation of
congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), it is relatively insensitive to white matter …

Several indices including axial diffusivity (λII), radial diffusivity (λ·), mean diffusivity, and
fractional anisotropy (FA) along the auditory pathway were extracted from diffusion tensor …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: High-resolution T2-weighted fast spin-echo MR imaging
provides excellent depiction of the cisternal and intracanalicular segments of the …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the structural integrity of the auditory
neural pathway in patients with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss using quantitative …

Purpose To prospectively compare diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) measures of axial
diffusivity (λ∥), radial diffusivity (λ⟂), mean diffusivity (MD), and fractional anisotropy (FA) …

PURPOSE: To determine differences in size of cochlear nerves among subjects with
deafness due to connexin 26 (Cx26) mutations, subjects with deafness of unknown origin …

Diagnostic imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed
tomography (CT) are helpful in providing an adequate mophologic pictures of profound …

Purpose Our objective was to evaluate age-dependent changes in microstructure and
metabolism in the auditory neural pathway, of children with profound sensorineural hearing …

A cochlear implant (CI) can restore hearing in patients with profound sensorineural hearing
loss by direct electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. Therefore, the viability of the …
