A systematic method for comprehensive visualization of the temporal bone structures using thin-section, high-resolution computed tomography (CT) was developed. In relation to the anthropologic baseline (0 degrees), four separate tomographic planes of 0 degrees, 30 degrees, 70 degrees, and 105 degrees were each found to optimize different aspects of temporal bone evaluation with significant reduction in the radiation dose to the lens. Virtually all patients were able to maintain the necessary head positioning that allows for both direct coronal and axial sections. It is concluded that in the majority of cases, thin-section, high-resolution CT can replace polytomography, although the examinations may be complementary in the evaluation of certain abnormalities.
开发了一种使用薄层、高分辨率计算机断层扫描（CT）对颞骨结构进行全面可视化的系统方法。相对于人类学基线（0度），发现0度、30度、70度和105度的四个单独断层平面分别优化了颞骨评估的不同方面，同时显著降低了晶状体的辐射剂量。几乎所有患者都能够保持必要的头部位置，以获得直接冠状面和轴位截面图像。得出的结论是，在大多数情况下，薄层、高分辨率CT可以替代体层摄影术，尽管在某些异常情况的评估中，这两种检查可能具有互补性。
