Interpretation of Computed Tomography of the Petrous Temporal Bone
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

First stage in predicative measure for transnasal transsphenoidal approach to petrous apex cholesterol granuloma.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS This study evaluates the feasibility of the transsphenoidal approach to petrous apex cholesterol granuloma based on the petrous angle. This is the angle centered at the vomer, extending between the medial aspect of the C3 segment of the internal carotid artery and the occipital protuberance. The aim of this study is to determine the average petrous angle in a population of...

متن کاملA preliminary study of three-dimensional reconstruction of the human osseous labyrinth from micro-computed tomography scans.
The adult human temporal bone was investigated using micro-CT scans. Various aspects of the osseous labyrinth were presented in figures which are effect of the volume rendering. The 3D reconstructions were performed to visualize the cochlea and the semicircular canals embedded in the petrous bone. The final product of this study was a digital three-dimensional model of the entire osseous labyri...
