PURPOSE To assess the value of a three-dimensional Fourier transformation MR
technique" CISS"(constructive interference in steady state) in imaging the inner ear …

The aim of this study was to compare contrast enhanced 3D MP-RAGE (magnetization
prepared rapid gradient echo), unenhanced 3D MP-RAGE and 3D CISS (constructive …

The high-field, thin–section (3–5 mm) MR imaging characteristics of 49 cerebellopontine
angle and internal auditory canal lesions were reviewed. The diverse abnormalities include …

The sudden onset of hearing loss and vertigo presents a difficult diagnostic problem. We
describe the finding of labyrinthine enhancement on MR images in five patients with sudden …

Imaging studies play an important role in the diagnosis of otosclerosis and in the clinical
management of this disease. CT scanning at present is the tool of choice for the assessment …

High signal from the otic labyrinth was observed on precontrast MR scan of two patients who
presented with sudden hearing loss and vertigo. The authors suggest the possibility that the …

The embryology of the inner ear must be known as many of the inner ear malformations
present as a result of the arrest during the various stages of embryology. These …

Many anatomic structures of the middle and inner ear are not optimally depicted at
computed tomography (CT) with image reconstruction in the standard axial and coronal …

PURPOSE To assess the value of MR in patients with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL)
caused by lesions other than acoustic neuromas. METHODS MR studies of 51 patients with …

PURPOSE: To introduce aplasia or hypoplasia of the vestibulocochlear nerve (VCN) as a
possible cause of hearing loss and to identify the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging …
