    Advanced magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) enhances preoperative facial nerve assessment in parotid tumor surgeries.

  • 2

    High-resolution MRI sequences provide reliable visualization of the facial nerve trunk, aiding surgical planning.

  • 3

    Quantitative imaging parameters and radiomic profiles assist in peritumoral risk stratification but lack validation as standalone methods.

  • 4

    Combining imaging findings with 3D models supports targeted surgical approaches, improving decision-making for surgeons.

  • 5

    Despite advancements, intraoperative judgment and neuromonitoring remain crucial for optimizing functional outcomes in surgery.
