Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

8.1K
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 View01:14

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

8.9K
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,...

Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

9.6K
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...

Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

14.6K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Gross Anatomy of Bone01:17

Gross Anatomy of Bone

15.3K
The two main features of a long bone are the diaphysis and the epiphysis.
The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone made of numerous osteons — the functional unit of the compact bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which harbors the bone marrow. In infants and children, this marrow cavity is filled with red marrow, whereas in...

    Summary

    Computed tomography (CT) of the temporal bone aids in diagnosing trauma, tumors, and other conditions affecting the ear and skull base. This review covers temporal bone anatomy, CT imaging techniques, and related auditory symptoms.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Anatomy
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Computed tomography (CT) is crucial for evaluating the complex structures of the temporal bone.
    • Understanding temporal bone anatomy is essential for accurate diagnosis of various pathologies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the anatomy of the temporal bone.
    • To discuss the computed tomography (CT) technique for temporal bone examinations.
    • To cover conditions, auditory symptoms, and postoperative changes related to temporal bone CT.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of temporal bone anatomy.
    • Discussion of CT imaging protocols for the temporal bone.
    • Compilation of information on associated clinical conditions and symptoms.
