ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of the study is to evaluate the usefulness of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) using multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) in obtaining preoperative information on the ossicular lesions of middle ear diseases by comparing the ossicular findings of MPR images with the operative findings.METHODS:
Sixty-two ears and 10 ears with preoperative middle ear diseases underwent 4- and 64-detector row CT of the temporal bone in Kagawa University Hospital, respectively. MPR images of three ossicles were created at the planes parallel to the long axis of ossicles.RESULTS:
The findings of the three ossicles in MPR images were compatible with their operative findings in approximately 91% of 72 ears with various middle ear diseases. There was no significant difference in the coincidence rate of both findings between 4- and 64-detector row CT scanners. The ears with no soft tissue shadows around the ossicles had the coincidence rate of 96-100% in each ossicular part, whereas the coincidence rate was lower in the ears with soft tissue shadows around the ossicles.CONCLUSION:
MPR imagings of the ossicles provide accurate preoperative information on the ossicular lesions in middle ear diseases. The 4-detector CT is still a useful device for imaging of the ossicles.Palavras-chave
