[Use and problems of high-resolution computed tomography of the petrous bone].
High resolution computed tomography of the petrous bone is not comparable to conventional tomography. Due to the different construction of both scanners the patient positioning techniques are different and conventional otoradiology projections are not applicable in computed tomography. We consider that high resolution computed tomography is only indicated in rare cases of temporal bone tumours and congenital anomalies.
