Summary

This study tests whether a new 3D MRI technique can better show tiny facial nerve branches inside the parotid gland in people with parotid tumors. About 50 adults will get this special MRI before surgery. The goal is to see if clearer nerve images can help surgeons avoid injuring these nerves, which can cause temporary or permanent facial weakness.
