Fig. 1 Cone-Beam CT—double-oblique reformatted images. a On axial images, the incudostapedial axis is angulated 15–25° posteriorly with regard to the coronal plane. Images must be reformatted along this line, passing through the joint and between the two crurae of the stapes (black line). Note the false appearance of a thickened footplate seen as high density.

In acoustic neurinoma, cholesteatoma, otitis media, and middle fossa tumors, both methods demonstrated the abnormalities well.

Temporal bone fractures: a review for the oral and maxillofacial surgeon. J Oral Maxillofac Surg. ; 66(3) (ISSN: ) Gladwell M; Viozzi C. Fracture of the temporal bone is, by definition, a fracture of the skull base. Even though the oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMS) may not provide definitive management of temporal bone.

A temporal bone tumor can be benign or cancerous. This type of tumor is rare and forms when cancer of the skin invades the outer part of the ear and the ear canal. In most cases, the temporal bone tumor is a squamous cell carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma or ceruminomatous adenoid carcinoma of the ear.

Congenital ear or temporal bone malformations are a diagnostic challenge to radiologists and surgeons alike. Newer imaging techniques can detect subtle changes in middle ear and cochlear anatomy. This information is invaluable with increasing use of hearing restoration surgeries and/or cochlear implants in such patients. This article discusses the embryogenesis, classification system, and.

Feb 20,  · Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a useful modality for imaging soft tissue lesions of the temporal bone. This article provides an overview of the principles of MR imaging and details of its use for diagnosis in the practice of otology. [1, 2, 3, 4].

Temporal Bone Imaging is designed as a teaching atlas. It includes 57 chapters. The first five chapters cover temporal bone anatomy. The remaining 52 chapters discuss temporal bone pathologic findings and are divided into six sections: External Auditory Canal, Middle Ear and Mastoid, Inner Ear and Petrous Bone, Trauma, Postoperative Ear, and Miscellaneous.

For temporal bone imaging, the parameters were a 16 cm × 16 cm field of view, × matrix size, and 2 mm slice thickness with no interslice gap, together with a .
