β¦ Synopsis
In seven patients with temporal bone fractures examined by both CT and MRI, thin section CT proved superior to MRI in demonstrating the full extent of the fractures and the status of the ossicular chain. MR studies were able to demonstrate fractures, when these fractures contained blood or CSF, and the presence of ossicular dislocation in one case where the middle ear was completely filled with CSF or blood. Admixture of air in the middle ear gave a false impression of ossicular dislocation, while air in the fracture obscured portions of it. MR proved superior to CT in the evaluation of intracranial contents by showing 5 additional subdural hematomas, 2 epidural hematomas and 2 hemorrhagic contusions.

Micro-magnetic resonance imaging (micro-MRI) is potentially a widely available tool to image and quantify the three-dimensional structure of trabecular bone. However, it has not been demonstrated that the same quantitative measurements can be obtained using micro-MRI as would be obtained from conven
## Abstract We used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to examine the extent of necrosis in the marrow space in three patients with iymphoma who had necrosis in bone marrow biopsies taken from the posterior iliac crest. Two of the patients had multiple focal lesions observed in the spine, pelvis, and
