Optimizing Cholesteatoma Assessment: Utilizing of Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Computed Tomography Imaging for Diagnostic Precision and Surgical Excellence

Abstract

Article informationBackground: Cholesteatoma is a sac-like growth inside the temporal bone that can cause bone disintegration and intracranial problems. CT is the preferred imaging method for diagnosis, but MRI is needed for better soft tissue resolution. Recurrent Cholesteatoma may require a second surgery for diagnosis. DW-MRI is a useful tool for studying Cholesteatoma.
