Enhancement patterns of the normal facial nerve on three-dimensional T1W fast spin echo MRI.

CONCLUSIONS: There is a differing pattern of normal facial nerve enhancement on contemporary 3D T1W FSE sequences compared to previous studies of 2D T1W SE imaging and fundal canalicular enhancement may be physiological. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This is the first study to evaluate patterns of normal facial nerve enhancement using contemporary 3D T1W FSE MRI sequences. PMID: 33502914 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
