What is Clinical high-resolution imaging and grading of endolymphatic hydrops in Hydropic Ear Disease at 1.5 T using the two-slice grading for vestibular endolymphatic hydrops in less than 10 min about?
Background Hydropic Ear Disease (Menière) is one of the most common inner ear disorders and one of the most common causes of vertigo attacks. The underlying pathology is a distension of the endolymphatic space of the inner ear, termed endolymphatic hydrops. However, the unequivocal morphologic confirmation of ELH has been restricted to post-mortem histologic analysis until 2007, when the first clinical MR imaging report demonstrated ELH in living patients with Menière's disease at 3 T combined with intratympanic application of contrast. Imaging techniques have since then evolved further. However, a high magnetic field strength of 3 T has consistently been mandatory for reliable clinical imaging of ELH. This limitation has significantly prevented ELH imaging from being widely available across different health care systems around the world. With the aim of filling this gap, in the present study, we aim to describe the feasibility of ELH imaging at 1.5 T in clinical practice and to develop a dedicated grading system for cochlear and vestibular ELH for MR imaging at 1.5 T. Methods In this retrospective study, we examined 30 patients with suspected hydropic ear disease undergoing diagno
