In Vivo MRI Analysis of Cranial Nerve Morphology in a Patient with Inner Ear Disorder

Source: Flatz, W. H. et al. In Vivo Morphometric Analysis of Human Cranial Nerves Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Menière's Disease Ears and Normal Hearing Ears. J. Vis. Exp. (2018).This video demonstrates the use of MRI to analyze cranial nerve morphology in the ears of patients suffering from a chronic inner ear disorder. It outlines the steps for performing a high magnetic field MRI scan on the patient, reconstructing the high-resolution 3D cross-sectional images of the cranial nerves, and measuring nerve dimensions to evaluate the abnormalities.
