Abstract

Over recent years, there has been an increase in otolaryngology publications concerning diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. The aims of this review paper are to summarise the basic principles of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, and to provide an overview of current otolaryngological applications and areas of research. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging is a radiological technique which has shown promising results in various areas of otolaryngology. However, studies of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging are difficult to compare, as different imaging parameters and techniques have been used. The role of this imaging modality within otolaryngology is yet to be fully elucidated. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging may prove to be a useful adjunct in both the pre- and post-operative care of otolaryngology patients.
