چکیده

Involvement of the ossicular chain by temporal bone disease can seldom be evaluated adequately on routine axial and coronal CT views [1-5]. Direct sagittal tomography views delineate these structures clearly [6, 7], but CT views require considerable manipulation of cooperative patients and are seldom reproducible in the exact planes in repeated examinations [8, 9]. High-resolution lateral oblique views reconstructed from axial sections appear to be the ideal method of visualizing the detailed anatomy of the ossicles.

Standardization of CT depiction of cochlear implant insertion depth.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Imaging a cochlear implant with CT is challenging because of implant-induced artifacts, anatomic cochlear variations, and lack of standard terminology for cochlear anatomy. The purposes of this project were to determine whether the cochlear implant tip was more accurately located on oblique CT reformations than on standard images, to review radiology reports for accurate ...

Can MRI replace CT in evaluating semicircular canal dehiscence?

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with symptoms of semicircular canal dehiscence often undergo both CT and MR imaging. We assessed whether FIESTA can replace temporal bone CT in evaluating patients for SC dehiscence. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 112 consecutive patients (224 ears) with vestibulocochlear symptoms who underwent concurrent MR imaging and CT of the temporal bon...

Morphometrical Study of the Temporal Bone and Auditory Ossicles in Guinea Pig

In this research, anatomical descriptions of the structure of the temporal bone and auditory ossicles have been performed based on dissection of ten guinea pigs. The results showed that, in guinea pig temporal bone was similar to other animals and had three parts; squamous, tympanic and petrous .The tympanic part was much better developed and consisted of oval shaped tympanic bulla with many re...

Morphology and morphometrical study of hamster middle ear bones

The objective of the current study was to determine the anatomical features of the auditory ossicles inhamster. Twenty temporal bones from 10 adult hamsters, weighing 275-300 g were used. After dissectingthem, the features of the ossicles were assessed with an ocular micrometer and photographed by astereomicroscope. Finally, all data were evaluated and analysed using the Sigma Statt software. T...
