Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful new tool for the study of human anatomy and pathology. By various MRI techniques, the structure of the middle and inner ears of aborted 20‐week fetuses is defined and compared to gross anatomic sections. MRI's potential for evaluating temporal bone development and diseases of the ear is discussed.
