Adding the Third Dimension to High Resolution MR-Imaging of the Inner Ear: An Answer waiting for a question

Ziele: To test the feasibility of three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the inner ear structures using high resolution MRI in patients referred for different abnormalities of the inner ear. Methode: The study was retrospectively performed on 87 patients with a mean age of 51.6 year. High resolution MR-Imaging was performed using an ISO-Space sequence with 0.6 mm slice thickness. Three dimensional reconstructions were performed using the InSpace Application. Both sides were reconstructed separately. All reconstructions were performed by a single radiologist with more than 12 years experience in MR-Imaging. The…
