MRI Brain with Inner Ear (3D Cochlea)

MRI Brain with Inner Ear (3D Cochlea)

An MRI of the brain with a focus on the inner ear, particularly the cochlea in three dimensions (3D), is a specialized imaging technique that provides detailed views of the inner ear structures, including the cochlea, auditory nerve, and surrounding soft tissues. This scan helps doctors evaluate the inner ear for conditions like malformations, tumors, or infections. 3D images can be reconstructed to show the cochlea and other inner ear structures in greater detail, making it useful for diagnosing and managing hearing loss and other ear-related issues. 

• Purpose:

  • To assess the cochlea for normal shape and any abnormalities. 
  • To evaluate the hearing nerve and surrounding soft tissues. 
  • To diagnose conditions like infections, tumors, or hemorrhage in the inner ear. 
  • To help identify potential causes of hearing loss or tinnitus.
