title: Morphogenesis of the inner ear. Correlation between CT-findings and macrosections.
abstract: The development of the temporal bone has been studied on macerated foetuses. For a comprehensive understanding two dissimilar techniques have been linked: CT scan and anatomical dissection technique on frozen tissue. CT scanning has been proved a good method to compare the different stages of maturity. There is also a good correlation between CT images and the anatomical slices obtained by dissection. Both methods are complementary to each other in the study of the morphogenesis of the inner ear.
