MRI Screening Temporal Bone

A temporal bone MRI screening provides a detailed image of the surrounding soft tissues, including the ear canal, middle ear, and inner ear.

The doctor orders this test to identify any abnormal growth or tumor in the temporal soft tissues and look for facial paralysis, hearing loss, bruising behind the ear, and ear bleeding from a fractured temporal bone.

Why is it done?

• To diagnose a temporal tumor/cyst/cancer.
• To check for facial paralysis, hearing loss, bruising behind the ear and bleeding from the ear caused by a broken temporal bone.
• To determine the cause of ear CSF leakage.
