  • Title: Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in temporal bone lesions.
    Author: Millen SJ, Daniels DL, Meyer GA.
    Journal: Laryngoscope; 1989 Mar; 99(3):257-60. PubMed ID: 2918798.
    Abstract:
    A 2-year experience with an enhancement agent in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is examined through case presentations. Characteristics of the agent Gadolinium DTPA/Dimeglumin are reviewed. Radiographic capabilities in enhanced versus unenhanced MRI are compared. Temporal bone lesions, including acoustic neuromas and facial nerve neuromas, are presented. Recent experience with facial nerve enhancement in Bell's palsy is also presented. Greater accuracy in defining small temporal bone lesions and increased delineation of facial nerve involvement appear to be significant benefits with enhanced MRI.
