Fig. 12From: Non-echoplanar diffusion weighted imaging in the detection of post-operative middle ear cholesteatoma: navigating beyond the pitfalls to find the pearlValue of non-contrast enhanced T1 weighted images. False positive high DWI signal (white arrow) for cholesteatoma was seen on a the b1000 image. b The non-contrast enhanced T1 weighted image showed this (white arrow) to represent subcutaneous tissue just outside the reconstructed post-operative middle ear cleft. Otoscopic examination of the area is normal and following discussion at the clinicoradiological meeting, a follow-up DWI was arranged. This showed stable appearanceBack to article page
