Computerized tomography (CT) scanning has reached a degree of sophistication that requires alteration of technical factors to demonstrate different parameters of temporal bone pathology. The techniques for pontocerebellar angle display, eustachian tube, middle ear pathology, and overall temporal bone display are quite different. Close cooperation between the radiologist and otologic surgeon are required for optimal use of CT scanning advances.
