Know more about this test
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the inner ear with contrast creates a picture of the cochlea (snail shell-like body with fluid-filled parts), vestibules (bones of the ear), auditory nerve (cochlear nerve, vestibular nerve), and surrounding soft tissues. The contrast helps in increasing the visibility of the internal organs and hence improves the sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy of the MRI scan.
This test is prescribed by the doctor to diagnose infection in your inner ear, to detect any tumor of the inner ear, and to find out the hemorrhage of ear bones.
