Panel presentation of Imaging in CI
High resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (HR-CT) of the inner ear are becoming more important for the diagnosis of central and peripheral vestibular disorders. MRI is established as an essential modality in the imaging of the temporal bone, cerebello-pontine angle and posterior cranial fossa. It is used to evaluate normal anatomic structures, evaluate for inflammatory and/or infectious and/or neoplastic processes. Modern MRI techniques allow visualization of detailed anatomic features of the vestibulo-cochlear regions as well as pathologic findings in the inner ear causing vertigo. Nevertheless, despite the widespread use of MRI for these purposes, many radiologists remain unfamiliar with the complex anatomy and expected imaging findings with such examinations
