Utility of Non-EPI DWI MRI Imaging in Cholesteatoma: The Indian Perspective.

The purpose of this prospective observational study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of non-EPI-based techniques, in detecting both primary and residual/recurrent cholesteatoma in a tertiary care center. 56 patients (25 female and 31 male) aged between 6 and 59 years were prospectively evaluated for the presence or absence of cholesteatoma. This included both primary and postoperative recurrent cholesteatoma (16).

Magnetic resonance imaging of common, uncommon, and rare implantation sites in ectopic pregnancy.

Objective: To review the MRI appearances of tubal and non-tubal implantation sites in ectopic pregnancy.

Conclusion: Transvaginal ultrasound is the primary imaging modality in ectopic pregnancy and MRI is used as a problem-solving tool in selected indications as detailed in the article. MRI features of tubal, interstitial, cervical, cesarean scar, cornual, ovarian, abdominal, and heterotopic pregnancies are provided to familiarize the radiologists with their appearances thereby assisting them in making early and accurate diagnosis.
