- Does CISS MRI Reliably Depict the Endolymphatic Duct in Children with and without Vestibular Aqueduct Enlargement?
In this retrospective review of temporal bone high-resolution CT and CISS MR imaging of 98 hearing-impaired children, the authors found that the CISS MR imaging technique commonly used for inner ear evaluation performs poorly overall at resolving the endolymphatic duct and underdiagnoses enlarged vestibular aqueduct. If the endolymphatic duct is easily seen on CISS imaging, there is a .99% probability that the vestibular aqueduct is enlarged.
- Clinical Evaluation of a 2-Minute Ultrafast Brain MR Protocol for Evaluation of Acute Pathology in the Emergency and Inpatient Settings
Ultrafast MR imaging (2.1 minutes) reconstructed with machine-learning assisted framework demonstrated significant reduction in motion artifacts and 98.5% agreement with the reference MR protocol (10 minutes) on the main clinical diagnosis, though there were greater image noise and geometric distortion on the ultrafast protocol.
