Abstract:
Three dimensional Fourier transformation constructive interference in steady state (3DFT-CISS) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows a detailed visualization of the membranous labyrinth of the inner ear. In this study the endolymphatic duct and sac is investigated in patients with Menière's disease using 3DFT-CISS MRI. In addition, the distance between the vertical part of the posterior semicircular canal and the fossa posterior is quantified.
