Summary

This study tests whether a high-resolution MRI can more accurately show the position of a parotid tumor relative to the facial nerve before surgery. About 88 adults scheduled for first-time parotid tumor removal will receive the special MRI. The goal is to help surgeons plan better and reduce the risk of post-operative facial paralysis.
