How to establish a Meniere's disease imaging service?
  1. To choose the optimal MR equipment and sequences.
  2. To implement the latest hydrops imaging guidelines for radiographers and radiologists.
  3. To identify the criteria for patient selection in hydrops imaging.

How I report delayed post-gadolinium MR imaging for hydropic ear disease: tips and pitfalls
  1. To list the imaging characteristics of primary hydropic ear disease.
  2. To define the current grading systems for endolymphatic hydrops, including their clinical correlation and role in treatment follow-up.
  3. To identify anatomical pitfalls and other findings typically seen in hydrops imaging.
18 min
Secondary endolymphatic hydrops and other non-hydropic imaging diagnoses in Meniere's symptoms
  1. To describe the term hydropic ear disease and explain the differences between primary and secondary hydropic ear disease.
  2. To identify the specificities of common aetiologies of secondary hydropic ear disease.
  3. To describe and reflect on the common final pathway in the disruption of the endolymphatic fluid balances in primary and secondary hydropic ear disease.

Endolymphatic hydrops: the growing role of the endolymphatic duct and sac
  1. To learn the imaging anatomy and pathology of the endolymphatic duct and sac.
  2. To know the non-visualisation of the endolymphatic duct as an imaging marker of Meniere’s disease.
  3. To distinguish different phenotypes of Meniere’s disease based on the angular trajectory of the vestibular aqueduct.
