First results of functional multislice computed tomography (fMSCT) of sound-convey middle ear structures
The research is devoted to study of the possibilities of functional multislice computed tomography (fMSCT) in choice of treatment, planning of tactics and choosing the volume of surgical intervention in case of fibrous process of the middle ear. 21 patients (25 temporal bones) have been examined by MSCT and fMSCT of temporal bone. The received results have allowed developing fMSCT, to study normal functional anatomy of ear, to estimate normal mobility of auditory ossicle. The results showed the necessity of using of MSCT in case of fibrous process of the middle ear. Diagnoses improvement achieved due to MSCT of temporal bone, allowed to choose optimal tactics and volume of surgical interventions.
