Combining optimized three-dimensional ZOOMit real inversion recovery with T2-preparation to shorten the delay interval and scan time for endolymphatic hydrops evaluation in patients with Meniere's disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The scan times and delay intervals of three-dimensional real inversion recovery imaging are excessively long, which limits its widespread use in clinical settings. This study aimed to determine whether an optimized three-dimensional zoomed imaging technique with parallel-transmission (ZOOMit) sampling perfection with application-optimized contrasts using different flip-angle evolutions (SPACE) real inversion recovery under T2 preparation protocols could evaluate endolymphatic hydrops with a short delay interval and scan time.

Methods

Consecutive participants were recruited for this prospective study. All participants underwent optimized three-dimensional ZOOMit SPACE real inversion recovery with T2 preparation at 2-, 4-, and 6-hour post-administration. The overall
