TL;DR: MR imaging for detection of middle ear cholesteatoma can be performed by using non-EP DW imaging sequences alone, with no significant increases in sensitivity, specificity, NPV, or PPV over the use of the non- EP DW imaging sequence alone.

Abstract: MR imaging for detection of middle ear cholesteatoma can be performed by using non–echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging alone, avoiding the need for contrast agent administration; this technique has much higher sensitivity than delayed gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted MR imaging.

The Clinical Role of Diffusion-Weighted MRI for Detecting Residual Cholesteatoma in Canal Wall up Mastoidectomy
Amr M. Ismaeel,Amir Monier El-Tantawy,Mohamed Gaber Eissawy,Mohammed A. Gomaa,Ahmed Abdel Rahman,Tawfeek Elkholy,Khalf Hamead +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the value of the diffusion MRI with the non-echoplanar imaging (Non-EPI) technique for follow-up the post-operative patients to detect residual cholesteatomas.

Diseases of the Temporal Bone

TL;DR: High-resolution CT is best suited to look at the external and middle ear but can also provide information about ‘the inner ear’, and the difference between MDCT and CBCT even becomes more obvious on coronal or double-oblique images.

Imaging the temporal bone

The Use of Non-EPI DWI MRI Scanning in the Management of Cholesteatoma

- 12 Dec 2020
TL;DR: The technique, benefits and limitations of non-EPI DWI MRI scans in managing patients pre- and post-operatively is discussed and the role of these MRI scans to measure growth rate of cholesteatoma and whether all cholisteatomas require surgical removal should be considered.

The measurement of observer agreement for categorical data
J. R. Landis,Gary G. Koch +1 more
TL;DR: A general statistical methodology for the analysis of multivariate categorical data arising from observer reliability studies is presented and tests for interobserver bias are presented in terms of first-order marginal homogeneity and measures of interob server agreement are developed as generalized kappa-type statistics.

Usefulness of Delayed Postcontrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Detection of Residual Cholesteatoma after Canal Wall‐Up Tympanoplasty
TL;DR: Assessment of the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging using delayed postcontrast T1‐weighted images for the detection of residual cholesteatoma after canal wall‐up tympanoplasty (CWU) in cases where CT was not conclusive.

Detection of postoperative relapsing/residual cholesteatomas with diffusion-weighted echo-planar magnetic resonance imaging.
TL;DR: EPI-DWI may be a useful tool in differentiating between cholesteatomatous and noncholest eatery tissues after closed cavity mastoidectomy, and further investigations are, however, required to establish the practical utility of EPI-D WI on larger series as a screening modality in the follow-up after closed body mastoidectomies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used delayed postcontrast Tl-weighted images for the detection of residual cholesteatoma after canal wall-up tympanoplasty (CWU) in cases where CT was not conclusive.

Comparison of Echo-Planar Diffusion-Weighted Imaging and Delayed Postcontrast T1-Weighted MR Imaging for the Detection of Residual Cholesteatoma
TL;DR: Both techniques gave acceptable results for residual cholesteatoma detection and may benefit patients by avoiding undue surgery, and DWI is more specific but less sensitive than DPI.
