Temporal Bone Anatomy Ct

Recent advances in 32 64 and now 128 slice ct scanners allow the acquisition of high resolution volumetric data that allows image reconstruction in any plane. Each temporal bone is composed of five osseous parts.

Temporal Bone Trauma And Complications Computed Tomography

The temporal bones comprise the lateral skull base forming portions of the middle and posterior fossae.

Temporal bone anatomy ct. The temporal bone is situated on the sides and the base of the cranium and lateral to the temporal lobe of the cerebrum. The temporal bone is very complex and consists of five parts. You will find more temporal bone pathology here.

They are highly irregular bones with extensive muscular attachments and articulations with surrounding bones. Some structures are discussed in more detail with emphasis on related pathology. The temporal bone is one of the most important calvarial and skull base bones.

The squamous mastoid petrous tympanic and styloid portions. Given that the file is large loading may take a few minutes. Click on an image to select a plane.

The temporal bones are overlaid by the sides of the head known as the temples and house the structures of the ears. Ct scan of the temporal bone. To load the temporal bone ct anatomy module in a new window click on its image above.

Anatomy of the petrous bone ct atlas of human anatomy using cross sectional imaging we have created an atlas of the temporal bone which is an educational tool for studying the normal anatomy of the petrous bone based on an mdct exam of the axial and coronal of the ear and petrous bone. The temporal bones are situated at the sides and base of the skull and lateral to the temporal lobes of the cerebral cortex. Temporal bone anatomy is complex and further complicated by the small size and three dimensional orientation of associated structures.

The temporal bones are a pair of bilateral symmetrical bones that constitute a large portion of the lateral wall and base of the skull. In this review we present the normal axial and coronal anatomy of the temporal bone by scrolling through the images. This gallery of images presents the anatomy of the temporal bone by means of ct scan reconstructions.

Ct scan of the temporal bone. The module interface is meant to mimic a radiology workstation with adjacent image scrolling via arrow keys and or mouse wheel button. This atlas allows you to scroll through ct slices of the temporal bone in four different planes.

Computed tomography ct has revolutionized imaging of the temporal bone.
