Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Blood-labyrinthine barrier leakage has been reported in sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). We compared immediate post-contrast 3D heavily T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), T1 spin echo (SE), and 3D T1 gradient echo (GRE) sequences, and heavily T2-weighted FLAIR (hvT2F) with and without deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR) in detecting perilymphatic enhancement.
