Temporal Bone - Radiography
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Temporal Bone'Either of a pair of compound bones forming the lateral (left and right) surfaces and base of the skull which contains the organs of hearing. It is a large bone formed by the fusion of parts: the squamous (the flattened anterior-superior part), the tympanic (the curved anterior-inferior part), the mastoid (the irregular posterior portion), and the petrous (the part at the base of the skull). Common names: Temporal Bone; Bone, Temporal; Bones, Temporal; Temporal Bones |

Transcanal endoscopic approach to the sinus tympani: a clinical report.
30 Aug 2009 
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the anatomic limitations of the endoscopic transcanal approach to sinus tympani (ST), in particular, how this approach might allow a complete visualization of the ST recesses and to propose a morphologic classification of ... Read more...
30 Jul 2009 The petrous apex is the most medial portion of the temporal bone that cannot be directly examined on clinical examination. The referring physician completely relies on imaging and radiologic interpretation. Unfortunately, the petrous apex displays ... Read more...
Imaging of temporal bone tumors.
30 Jul 2009 Tumoral lesions of the temporal bone are relatively rare. Cross-sectional imaging plays an important role in the description of extension of these lesions. In certain lesions, imaging characteristics are rather specific, giving a clue to diagnosis. ... Read more...
