Summary

This study aims to develop a way to measure facial muscles using MRI scans in people with facial paralysis. Currently, doctors rely on subjective scales to assess muscle function, but this method could provide objective measurements like muscle thickness and volume. The goal is to help surgeons choose the most appropriate surgery and to better track recovery after treatment. The study will compare muscle measurements in 60 patients with facial paralysis to those in healthy individuals.
