Tests Details :
MRI – Temporal Bones is an advanced imaging procedure that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the temporal bone region, including the inner ear, middle ear, auditory nerves, surrounding soft tissues, and nearby brain structures.
This scan is highly useful for diagnosing hearing loss, vertigo, balance disorders, nerve abnormalities, infections, tumors such as acoustic neuroma, and other conditions affecting the ear and surrounding structures. It provides high-resolution images for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning without exposing the patient to radiation.
This test is recommended for individuals:
- Experiencing unexplained hearing loss
