title: Magnetic resonance imaging of the normal temporal bone.
abstract: Recent advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology has allowed the development of imaging sequences tailored to the assessment of exquisite anatomic detail of the temporal bone structures. This article describes MRI of the normal temporal bone anatomy, with emphasis on common anatomic variants and clinically relevant structures.
