Pathology of the membranous labyrinth: comparison of T1- and T2-weighted and gadolinium-enhanced spin-echo and 3DFT-CISS imaging.

Abstract

The CISS sequence and enhanced T1-weighted sequence formed the best sequence combination for diagnosis of membranous labyrinth lesions; additional, unenhanced T1-weighted images can help one differentiate labyrinthitis, proteinaceous fluid, subacute hemorrhage, or tumor inside the labyrinth.
