Advancements in Cholesteatoma Diagnosis and Management: The Role of Diffusion - Weighted Imaging
Dr. Uday Agarwal, Dr. Priyam Jain
Abstract: This article delves into the intricate nature of cholesteatomas, abnormal growths within the ear that can lead to significant damage if not accurately diagnosed and treated. Traditional surgical methods have been the cornerstone of management, aiming to remove these lesions while preserving the ears functional integrity. However, the recurrence of cholesteatoma post - surgery poses a significant challenge, necessitating reliable diagnostic methods for its detection. Recent advancements in imaging technologies, particularly Diffusion - Weighted Imaging DWI, have shown promise in distinguishing cholesteatoma from other ear pathologies, offering a non - invasive alternative to surgical exploration. The paper reviews the technical aspects of DWI, its application in diagnosing cholesteatoma, and how it compares to conventional imaging methods, highlighting its potential to improve patient outcomes by accurately identifying residual or recurrent disease, thus guiding treatment decisions.
Keywords: ASSET = array spatial sensitivity encoding technique; DWI = diffusion - weighted imaging; EPI = echo - planar imaging; HASTE = half - Fourier acquired single - shot turbo spin - echo; PROPELLER = periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction; SNR = signal intensity?to - noise ratio; SS TSE = single - shot TSE; TSE = turbo spin - echo
