The Temporal Bone An Imaging Atlas
Imaging of the temporal bone has recently been advanced with multidetector CT and high-field MR imaging to the point where radiologists and clinicians must familiarize themselves with anatomy that was previously not resolvable on older generation scanners

Preface
The study of the temporal bone represents one of the most formidable challenges in clinical anatomy secondary to the small size of its component structures and the difficulties entailed in gaining adequate exposure while minimizing the destructive process of anatomical dissection. In this atlas we employ the use of CT and MR microscopy scanners, commonly used in research laboratories to image small animals such as mice or rats, to study the temporal bones harvested from human cadavers. Although these imaging techniques currently cannot compete with high power light microscopy (let alone even higher power microscopic tools) and can only achieve resolutions of 20–80 mm, they allow us to obtain an isotropic volumetric acquisition that can b
