High-resolution CT of the petrous bone: direct vs. Reformatted images.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coronal and sagittal reformatted images generated from axial Target scans through the temporal bone compared favorably with direct scans of cadaver specimens. Oblique reformatted images exhibited significant degradation and did not appear to be helpful in identifying anatomic structures. In patients with suspected temporal bone tumors, Target reconstruction of axial scans followed by coronal and sagittal reformation has proved useful.

Alternative oblique head CT scanning technique reduces bone artifact and improves interpretability of brainstem anatomy
Brainstem pathology due to infections, infarcts and tumors are common in developing countries, but neuroimaging technology in these resource-poor settings is often limited to single slice, and occasionally spiral, CT. Unlike multislice CT and MRI, single slice and spiral CT are compromised by bone artifacts in the posterior fossa due to the dense petrous bones, often making imaging of the brain...
متن کامل'Leave me alone' lesions of the petrous apex.
PURPOSE When troublesome MR imaging findings are noted in the petrous apex, the radiologist must determine if the area in question needs surgical therapy. Two nonsurgical entities, asymmetric fatty marrow and fluid-filled petrous air cells (trapped fluid), can be noted on conventional brain MR images and confused with pathologic lesions. Our observation that radiologists do not always confident...
متن کاملOsteometry of the mandible performed using dental MR imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE On cross-sectional and panoramic reformatted images from axial (dental) CT scans of the mandible it may be difficult to identify the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle (IANB) in patients lacking a clear-cut bony delimitation of the mandibular canal. Dental MR images are comparable to dental CT scans, which directly show the IANB; however, measurements of length may no...
متن کاملTraumatic luxation of the stapes evidenced by high-resolution CT.
We encountered a case of acquired perilymphatic fistula in which the origin of the disease, namely, the stapes begin medially displaced into the vestibule, was shown by thin-section CT. Accordingly, we recommend that every patient with suspected perilymphatic fistula of traumatic origin undergo high-resolution CT of the petrous bone.
متن کاملInterpretation of Computed Tomography of the Petrous Temporal Bone
This review will familiarise the reader with the normal radiological anatomy of the temporal bone as demonstrated on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). In addition, common pathology affecting the temporal bone will also be presented. The reader will be shown a systematic approach to viewing HRCT of the petrous temporal bone.
