    Summary

    Computed tomography (CT) and pluridirectional tomography are valuable for diagnosing middle ear diseases. CT excels in visualizing soft tissues and fluid, while tomography is better for bone destruction, suggesting a complementary approach for accurate diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Otolaryngology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Middle ear diseases require accurate diagnostic imaging.
    • Computed tomography (CT) and pluridirectional tomography are established imaging modalities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the diagnostic utility of CT and pluridirectional tomography in suspected middle ear disease.
    • To determine the complementary roles of CT and tomography in evaluating middle ear pathology.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 65 patients with suspected ear disease.
    • Examination using CT and pluridirectional tomography.
    • Correlation with surgical findings in 18 patients.

    Main Results:

    • CT effectively diagnosed tympanic membrane swelling, middle ear fluid, cholesteatoma, granulation tissue, and adhesions.

  • CT's contrast resolution aided ossicle visualization; axial CT images showed longitudinal fractures.
  • CT and tomography showed comparable mastoid air cell disease, but CT better demonstrated fluid.
  • Tomography surpassed CT in showing bone destruction; CT was more sensitive for lateral semicircular canal fistulas.

    • Conclusions:

    • CT and pluridirectional tomography offer complementary strengths in evaluating middle ear disease.
    • A combined imaging approach is recommended for comprehensive assessment of suspected middle ear pathology.
