Abstract: The emergence of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)with intratympanic gadolinium injection in the inner ear provides a new diagnostic technique for a variety of inner ear diseases, hence a new method for diagnosis Meniere's disease, which is expected to become the gold standard for the diagnosis of the condition. Based on the developmental progress of MRI of with intratympanic gadolinium at home and abroad, this paper summarizes the characteristics of gadolinium MRI echnology, a variety of drug delivery methods, evaluation methods, and comparison with traditional examination methods, and summarizes the research status of inner ear gadolinium MRI technology in the diagnosis and treatment of Meniere's disease.

Key words: Meniere's disease, Intratympanic gadolinium, Endolymphatic hydrops, Vertigo, Magnetic resonance lmaging
