چکیده
conclusion spiral-ct scan is superior to conventional ct in the diagnosis of lesions in com before operation. it can be used for detailed evaluation of ossicular chain in such patients. objectives this study was performed to compare the findings of three-dimensional reconstructed spiral and conventional ct scan of ossicular chain study in patients with com. patients and methods fifty patients enrolled in the study underwent plane and three dimensional ct scan (philips-mx 8000). ossicles changes, mastoid cavity, tympanic cavity, and presence of cholesteatoma were evaluated. results of the two methods were then compared and interpreted by a radiologist, recorded in questionnaires, and analyzed. logistic regression test and kappa coefficient of agreement were used for statistical analyses. results sixty two ears with com were found in physical examination. a significant difference was observed between the findings of the two methods in ossicle erosion (11.3% in conventional ct vs. 37.1% in spiral ct, p = 0.0001), decrease of mastoid air cells (82.3% in conventional ct vs. 93.5% in spiral ct, p = 0.001), and tympanic cavity opacity (12.9% in conventional ct vs. 40.3% in spiral ct, p=0.0001). no significant difference was observed between the findings of the two methods in ossicle destruction (6.5% conventional ct vs. 56.4% in spiral ct, p = 0.125), and presence of cholesteatoma (3.2% in conventional ct vs. 42% in spiral ct, p = 0.172). in this study, spiral ct scan demonstrated ossicle dislocation in 9.6%, decrease of mastoid air cells in 4.8%, and decrease of volume in the tympanic cavity in 1.6%; whereas, none of these findings were reported in the patients' conventional ct scans. background chronic otitis media (com) can be treated with tympanoplasty with or without mastoidectomy. in patients who have undergone middle ear surgery, three-dimensional spiral computed tomography (ct) scan plays an important role in optimizing surgical planning.

Comparison of Conventional Versus Spiral Computed Tomography with Three Dimensional Reconstruction in Chronic Otitis Media with Ossicular Chain Destruction.
BACKGROUND Chronic otitis media (COM) can be treated with tympanoplasty with or without mastoidectomy. In patients who have undergone middle ear surgery, three-dimensional spiral computed tomography (CT) scan plays an important role in optimizing surgical planning.

متن کاملOssicular chain status in chronic suppurative otitis media in adults.
This study was conducted to find out the status of the ossicles in cases of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). One hundred and fifty cases of CSOM, who underwent surgery, were included and their intra-operative ossicular chain findings noted. Ossicular erosion was found to be much more common in unsafe CSOM than in safe CSOM. Malleus was found to be the most resistant ossicle to erosion w...

متن کاملStudy of Correlation of Pre-Operative Findings with Intra-Operative Ossicular Status in Patients with Chronic Otitis Media
Introduction: Chronic otitis media (COM) has been broadly classified into mucosal and squamous subtypes. COM types are associated with erosion of the ossicular chain. The aim of the present study was to correlate the type of COM, the site of perforation/retraction, and the type of disease pathology with the pattern and degree of ossicular chain necrosis. Materials and Methods: A prospecti...

Three-dimensional reconstruction of human diaphragm with the use of spiral computed tomography.
We developed a technique of diaphragm imaging by using spiral computed tomography, and we studied four normal subjects who had been previously investigated with magnetic resonance imaging (A. P. Gauthier, S. Verbanck, M. Estenne, C. Segebarth, P. T. Macklem, and M. Paiva. J. Appl. Physiol. 76: 495-506, 1994). One acquisition of 15- to 25-s duration was performed at residual volume, functional r...
