Wang Y, Tang W, Chai Y, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate the ability of conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI to accurately distinguish characteristic imaging findings of Bell's palsy, particularly in involved segments. Between January 2015 and July 2019, researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of MRI images of patients with Bell's palsy in Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital. They conducted DCE-MRI analysis on a SIEMENS Workstation Extended MR WorkSpace 2.6.3.5 and by applying the T1-weighted volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination sequence. They conducted statistical analyses by applying SPSS v. 19.0. The chi-square test was used to compare the accuracy of conventional MRI vs DCE-MRI in imaging the involved segment of the facial nerve. DCE-MRI was found to be useful to diagnose the involved segments of the affected facial nerve accurately in comparison with the conventional MRI. It was shown that this method has advantages both for the patient, in terms of safety, and for the physician, in terms of the accuracy of the diagnosis.
