    Fig 2.

    MR images of a 61-year-old male with right facial neuritis. On unenhanced (A) and gadolinium-enhanced (B) 3D-T1-FFE images of the right temporal bone, both readers scored 0 (no enhancement) in the canalicular segment. But on unenhanced (C) and gadolinium-enhanced (D) 3D-FLAIR images, both readers scored 2 (definite enhancement) in the canalicular segment. 1 indicates canalicular segment; 2 = labyrinthine segment; 3 = anterior genu segment.
