Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography of the middle ear and adjacent structures has been carried out in two cadaveric heads from axial and coronal high-resolution images. The structures shown on the images of the walls of the tympanic cavity are illustrated. The usefulness and limitations of the technique, in this region, are discussed: use of grey level volumes at the surface of the slices and the inclusion of structural landmarks is emphasized. The 3D representations show the anatomical spacial relationships of the small structures in and around the middle ear to advantage. The information may be of use in surgical orientation.
