Summary

Serial Computed Tomography (CT) scans of isolated temporal bones have been obtained in transverse planes at 1.5 mm intervals. Then gross anatomic sections of same temporal bones were taken at 3 mm. intervals in planes parallel to the CT scans. These CT and anatomic sections were evaluated comparatively.

Résumé

Les coupes sériées au scanner d'os temporal isolé ont été faites dans le plan transversal tous les 1,5mm. Le même os a ensuite été coupé tous les 3mm dans des plans parallèles à ceux du scanner. Les deux séries de coupe sont ensuite analysées de façon comparative.
