Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and delayed postcontrast T1-weighted MR imaging (DPI) have been proposed in previous studies to detect residual middle ear cholesteatomas, with varying results. We assessed and compared these 2 techniques in patients with canal wall-up tympanoplasty.Keywords
