Abstract

High-resolution T2-weighted sequences are frequently used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies to assess the cerebellopontine angle and internal auditory canal (IAC) in sensorineural hearing loss patients but have low yield and lengthened examinations. Because image content in the Wavelet domain is sparse, compressed sensing (CS) that uses incoherent undersampling of k-space and iterative reconstruction can accelerate MRI acquisitions. We hypothesized that an accelerated CS T2 Sampling Perfection with Application optimized Contrasts using different flip angle Evolution (SPACE) sequence would produce acceptable diagnostic quality for IAC screening protocols. Seventy-six patients underwent 3 T MRI using conventional SPACE and a CS T2 SPACE prototype sequence for screening the IACs were identified retrospectively. Unilateral reconstructions for each sequence were separated, then placed into mixed folders for independent, blinded review by 3 neuroradiologists during 2 sessions 4 weeks apart. Radiologists reported if a lesion was present. Motion and visualization of specific structures were rated using ordinal scales. McNemar, Wilcoxon, Cohen κ, and Mann-Whitney U tests were performed for accuracy, equivalence, and interrater...Continue Reading
