Imaging technology continues to advance and simplify the diagnosis of neurotologic pathology. Namely, high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging has provided detailed evaluation of the internal auditory canal and membranous labyrinth. Conversely, the role of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging as a screening tool remains controversial. Functional imaging studies, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging and single photon emission computed tomography are beginning to find significant roles in the evaluation of patients with cochlear implants. General imaging principles and imaging strategies for specific pathologic conditions of the temporal bone are also discussed.
成像技术不断进步,简化了耳科病理学的诊断。具体而言,高分辨率磁共振成像已能对内耳道和膜迷路进行详细评估。相反,高分辨率磁共振成像作为一种筛查工具的作用仍存在争议。功能成像研究,如功能磁共振成像和单光子发射计算机断层扫描,开始在人工耳蜗植入患者的评估中发挥重要作用。本文还讨论了颞骨特定病理状况的一般成像原则和成像策略。
