Study of the complex anatomy and pathology of the temporal bone has traditionally used microscopy which permits analysis in only two dimensions. Recent advances in bioimaging technology have permitted visualization and reconstruction of computed tomography images in three dimensions. We have developed a technique that applies this technology in the imaging and reconstruction of human temporal bones. Data taken from serial histologic sections of the temporal bone are entered into a computer. The sections are edited and, through the use of specially developed software, a realistic three-dimensional reconstruction is produced. The reconstructed image can be rotated along any of three axes, and structures within the temporal bone can be isolated for more detailed analysis. Applications for the study of pathologic conditions of the temporal bone will be discussed.
传统上，对颞骨复杂解剖结构和病理的研究使用显微镜，其仅允许进行二维分析。生物成像技术的最新进展使得能够对计算机断层扫描图像进行三维可视化和重建。我们开发了一种将该技术应用于人类颞骨成像和重建的方法。从颞骨连续组织切片获取的数据被输入计算机。对这些切片进行编辑，并通过使用专门开发的软件生成逼真的三维重建图像。重建图像可以沿三个轴中的任何一个旋转，并且可以分离颞骨内的结构以进行更详细的分析。将讨论该技术在颞骨病理状况研究中的应用。
