Cranial Bones: Lateral View

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

Introduction: MRI and CT scans are crucial advancements in medical imaging techniques, playing a vital role in diagnosing conditions related to the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Each scan serves distinct purposes, targets specific areas, and requires unique nursing duties.
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Computed Tomography

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Area of Science:

Radiology
Otolaryngology
Medical Imaging

Background:

Standard imaging planes (axial, coronal) have limitations in evaluating certain middle and inner ear structures.
Internal auditory malformations can cause sensorineural deafness.
Accurate anatomical assessment is crucial for surgical planning, particularly for cochlear implants.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the utility of oblique single slice reformation postprocessing in multislice temporal bone CT.
To assess if this technique improves the characterization of specific middle and inner ear structures.
To determine the value of this method for diagnosing internal auditory malformations and planning cochlear implant surgery.

Main Methods:

Anatomic study involving 20 patients undergoing multislice temporal bone CT.
Oblique single slice reformation postprocessing applied in six specific planes.
Planes targeted: cochlear basal turn, apical basal turn, malleoincudal complex, stapes, and facial canal.

Main Results:

The technique allowed for improved visualization of difficult-to-evaluate middle and inner ear structures.
Specific anatomical details of the cochlear turns, ossicles, and facial canal were better characterized.
The method showed potential for enhancing diagnostic accuracy in cases of malformations.

Conclusions:

Oblique single slice reformation in multislice temporal bone CT offers improved characterization of middle and inner ear anatomy.
This advanced imaging technique is valuable for diagnosing sensorineural deafness causes and guiding cochlear implant surgery.
The proposed planes provide enhanced anatomical detail compared to standard imaging views.
