Description
Springer Radiology of the Petrous Bone 1st Editon 2012 Softbound by Marc Lemmerling, Spyros S. Kollias
This volume provides a complete overview of the imaging of the normal and diseased petrous bone. After an introduction describing the anatomy of the area, subsequent chapters address the various diseases and conditions affecting the petrous bone that are encountered in daily practice. At the beginning of each of these chapters an otologist explains what is expected of the radiologist. The various classic imaging methods are described and discussed in detail, and individual chapters are included on newer techniques such as functional imaging and virtual imaging. Imaging findings are documented with the aid of numerous informative high-quality illustrations. This book, with its straightforward structure based essentially on topography, will prove of immense value in daily practice. 1 Technique and Radiologic Anatomy.- 2 External Ear Imaging.- 3 Imaging of Cholesteatomatous and Non-Cholesteatomatous Middle Ear Disease.- 4 Temporal Bone Trauma.- 5 Tumorous Lesions of the Temporal Bone.- 6 Acute Otomastoiditis and its Complications.- 7 Otosclerosis.- 8 Imaging of the Congenitally Malformed Temporal Bone.- 9 Tumors of Cerebellopontine Angle, Internal Auditory Canal, and Inner Ear.- 10 Imaging of the Jugular Foramen.- 11 Vascular Temporal Bone Lesions.- 12 Petrous Apex Lesions.- 13 Imaging of Facial Nerve Pathology.- 14 Postoperative Temporal Bone Imaging.- 15 Virtual Endoscopy of the Middle and Inner Ear.- 16 Functional Imaging of Hearing.- List of Contributors.
