About CT Temporal Bone (Axial + Coronal) – Plain
A CT Temporal Bone (Axial + Coronal) – Plain (HRCT Mastoid/Petrous Bone Scan) is a special type of imaging study that is used to assess the small and complex structures of the temporal bone. The scan reveals a fine cross-section of the structures in the axial and coronal planes, and shows excellent details of the middle ear, inner ear, mastoid air cells, cochlea, semicircular canals, and petrous portion of the temporal bone. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy has high-resolution CT scanners that are used to obtain fine anatomical detail that is useful for the correct evaluation of ear and skull base disorders.
What is CT Temporal Bone (Axial + Coronal) – Plain?
A computed tomography (CT) temporal bone scan is a type of X-ray and computer-generated image (scan) that shows detailed pictures of the temporal bones, which are on the two sides of the skull. The test is for very small structures involved with hearing and balance. In the axial and coronal analysis, the doctor can use it to diagnose any unusual ear structures that may not be revealed in the standard imaging examination.
Common Reasons for CT Temporal Bone Scan
Chronic ear infections
Hearing loss evaluation
Recurrent ear discharge
Ear pain or discomfort
Suspected cholesteatoma
Evaluation before ear surgery
Assessment of mastoid abnormalities
Facial nerve disorders
Trauma involving the temporal bone
Balance and inner ear disorders
Conditions Evaluated
Chronic Otitis Media
Helps evaluate long-standing middle ear infections and associated structural changes.
Cholesteatoma
Detects abnormal skin growth within the middle ear that can damage surrounding bone structures.
Mastoiditis
Assesses infection or inflammation involving the mastoid air cells.
Hearing Loss
Evaluates abnormalities affecting the middle and inner ear structures responsible for hearing.
Temporal Bone Fractures
