The relevant aspects of cholesteatomas are reviewed with the emphasis on their diagnosis
by using cross-sectional imaging. The indications and limitations of CT and MR imaging and …

Summary HRCT and DW-MRI offer complementary anatomic information that can be used
effectively in the management of cholesteatoma. DW-MRI imaging has proven to be a …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and
delayed postcontrast T1-weighted MR imaging (DPI) have been proposed in previous …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Non-EPI DWI is a promising alternative to second-look
surgery for the detection of residual and/or recurrent cholesteatoma. We evaluated the …

Chronic otitis media is frequently seen in otolaryngologic practice. Cholesteatoma is less
common and can present a diagnostic challenge. Temporal bone imaging studies are often …

High-resolution CT scanning accurately depicts the status of the structures of the temporal
bone, allowing delineation of pathology prior to surgical exploration of ears with …

Abstract The European Academy of Otology and Neurotology in collaboration with the
Japanese Otological Society (EAONO/JOS) recently produced a joint consensus document …

Purpose To retrospectively compare non–echo-planar (non-EP) diffusion-weighted (DW)
imaging, delayed gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging …

Diagnosis of acquired middle ear cholesteatoma on MR imaging is mostly done on late
postgadolinium T1-weighted MR images and/or echo-planar (EPI) diffusion-weighted (DWI) …

Introduction Single-shot (SS) turbo spin-echo (TSE) diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) is a non echo-planar imaging (EPI) technique recently reported for …
