The client has a hearing loss from a possible acoustic neuroma. The nurse should prepare the client for which diagnostic test to confirm the presence of a tumor?

MRI with gadolinium enhancement is the most reliable test in determining size and anatomical location of an acoustic neuroma. Tympanometry, arteriogram, and biopsy are not used for this diagnosis.
