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

Detects fractures following head injuries and assesses their extent.

Inner Ear Abnormalities
