## Abstract High resolution computed tomography has completely replaced conventional multidirectional tomography in the evaluation of the temporal bone. Unprecedented detail is now available for evaluation of both middle ear and inner ear structures. A sampling of our experience in the evaluation o

Abstract
Specially reconstructed 1.5βmm thick CT scans and complex motion tomograms of the temporal bones were compared with anatomic sections of the same bones. Computed tomography demonstrated sloping bone surfaces and soft tissues better than tomography, whereas standard complex motion tomography produced a slightly thinner section with better spatial resolution. The advantages of computed tomography will probably make it the preferred radiologic study for many abnormalities of the temporal bone.

## Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the minimum thickness of cortical bone required for the accurate measurement of cortical material density by computed tomography (CT) and to establish normal reference values. A phantom with several wall thicknesses of boneβlike material was co
Sonographic and computed tomography findings were retrospectively compared in 13 patients with proven abdominal tuberculosis who had both diagnostic modalities in their workup. The patients were treated over 9 years in two general hospitals in Kuwait. Ultrasound could detect the same findings as CT
