@TheAJNR 12/I think that this looks like a bird pooping!. Remember: When your belly’s full, you may need to poop!

@TheAJNR 10/Utricle endolymph may also be hydropic—then you see big eye & belly. Remember this bc when you are dizzy & high, you have big eyes & are also hungry!

LLMs are getting better, faster, and smarter, and as they do, we need new ways to use them. Applications build with LLMs have transitioned from asking LLMs to write to letting LLMs drive actions. With that, comes new challenges in developing agentic applications.

@TheAJNR 9/ An early hydrops sign is when the saccule endolymph gets enlarged (hydropic). Bird’s eye gets huge & runs into the belly. Remember, your eyes get big when you are dizzy!

@TheAJNR 8/ The eye filling defect is the saccule. I remember that bc it’s the SACCule & eyes have SACCades. The belly filling defect is the utricle. You can remember this bc utricle means pouch (like uterus) & the belly is just a big pouch.

@TheAJNR 7/ On delayed axial post images, vestibular structures look like a bird. Body is perilymph & endolymph filling defects are the eye & belly

@TheAJNR 6/So when we give contrast & wait 4 hours, the perilymph (skin) will have taken it up but endolymph (intestine) will not. So endolymph will look like a dark filling defect on the bright background perilymph

@TheAJNR 5/So how to image hydrops? Remember the worm. If a worm is put in dye, it’ll absorb dye into its skin, but not its intestine. Same for the labyrinth. If you give contrast, it’s absorbed into the perilymph, but not endolymph

@TheAJNR 4/Labyrinth like a worm. It has its outer skin, but inside is its intestine that runs inside the skin. Endolymphatic hydrops when the intestine gets big inside from eating too much but the skin is the same size.

@TheAJNR 3/To understand Meniere’s disease, you must know labyrinth anatomy. It has layers, like Russian nesting dolls. Outer doll is the bony labyrinth, holding perilymph & a second doll—membranous labyrinth. Inside the membranous labyrinth is endolymph

@TheAJNR 2/The etiology for dizziness can have very diverse causes—each with very different treatments. So it is important to try to differentiate. Meniere’s is a common cause & we can help diagnose it w/imaging!

If you’re hunting for good news here’s something: Talkspace therapy is covered by most insurance plans and the average copay is only $15 (but most covered members pay $0).
