Clinico Radiological Series: Temporal Bone Imaging, New edition

The temporal bone is located at the lower sides of the skull and directly underneath the temple.

This book reviews current techniques in imaging of the temporal bone and associated disorders.

Beginning with an introduction to normal anatomy and the various imaging modalities, the following sections discuss various disorders including congenital anomalies and infections of the external and middle ear, inner ear, internal auditory canal and cochlear implant, and tumours. The final section explores the clinico-radiological approach to hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus and facial nerve palsy.

Each topic is presented in a step by step format and illustrative cases are provided for each section. Nearly 300 radiological images and tables enhance learning.
