Three-dimensional T2-weighted fast field echo imaging in the determination of the relationship between the intraparotid facial nerve and parotid tumors

Key Points

• The aim is to explore how 3D-T2-weighted fast field echo imaging can clarify the relationship between the facial nerve and parotid tumors.
• Utilized 3D-T2-weighted fast field echo imaging techniques
• Examined morphological relationships between facial nerve and parotid tumors
• Focused on imaging prior to surgical procedures
• Provided detailed morphological insights into the facial nerve
• Identified anatomical relationships important for surgical planning
• Enhanced understanding of nerve positioning relative to tumors
