AIM: To determine the usefulness of three-dimensional reversed fast imaging with steady-state precession diffusion-weighted imaging (3D-PSIF DWI) for the detection of middle ear cholesteatoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study population consisted of 81 patients who underwent 3D-PSIF-DWI at 3 T. They included cholesteatoma in 73 cases, otitis media in five, and cholesterol granuloma in three. Two observers independently performed qualitative evaluations for the detection of cholesteatoma and measured apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and ADC ratios of the lesions. Kappa (κ) statistics, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), the independent t-test, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were used for statistical analysis. Pair-wise comparison of the ROC curves was performed using the area under the ROC curve (AUC). RESULTS: Interobserver agreement and ICC for the qualitative and quantitative evaluations were excellent (κ=0.92 and ICC=0.90-0.92, respectively). The ADC value and the ADC ratio were significantly lower for cholesteatoma than non-cholesteatoma lesions (p<0.0001). In <5 mm cholesteatoma group, the diagnostic performance of the ADC value (AUC=0.97) and the ADC ratio (AUC=1) was significantly superior to qualitative 3D-PSIF-DWI (AUC=0.76; p=0.0001 and <0.0001, respectively). For ≥5 mm cholesteatoma group, there were no significant differences in diagnostic performance among the three parameters. CONCLUSION: 3D-PSIF-DWI sequence is useful for the detection of middle ear cholesteatomas, especially <5 mm lesions.
