Abstract:
The Scanora (Soredex, Helsinki, Finland) is a multimodal unit for maxillofacial imaging combining narrow beam radiography and pluridirectional spiral tomography. We describe a novel technique for imaging the mastoid process based on a modification of the program for coronal tomography of the ear. This technique is of potential clinical value for implant planning and postoperative evaluation in the temporal bone.
