Abstract:
To visualize endolymph as bright signal after intravenous injection of single-dose gadodiamide, we shortened the inversion time of heavily T(2)-weighted 3-dimensional (3D) fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) to 2050 ms. In 14 patients with suspected Ménière's disease, we observed high signal of vestibular endolymph in all ears, including 6 ears without vestibular endolymphatic hydrops. We observed high signal of cochlear endolymph in 17 ears with cochlear endolymphatic hydrops but not 11 ears without cochlear endolymphatic hydrops.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
