Measuring Thickness of Middle Ear Mucosa Using MRI and CT Imaging versus Histopathology

Figure 6

Measuring MT by MRI and Histology. This bar chart is a comparison of two methods for measuring MT, which show comparable findings. Both MRI and Histology methods reveal that DEX-treated chinchillas produced less mucosal thickness when compared to HC-treated and control groups. The disparity in the MT thickness is likely due to the specimen handling during histology, which requires use of various desiccating substances.
