[Direct radiographic magnification in experimental otorhinolaryngology].
Isolated intact ossicles, the smallest bones in the human body, impressively demonstrate the possibilities of a high-grade radiographic direct-enlargement technique with a microfocus X-ray tube. In a complete skull, however, superposition effects reduce its advantages, as was seen with artificial skull-base defects. Visualization of movements of the ossicle joints in direct radiological magnification resulted in the discovery of a protective mechanism in the ossicular chain.
