This book presents a useful schematic overview of anatomy and pathology of the temporal bone, showcasing detailed imaging obtained using state-of-the-art CT and MR. It is a comprehensive collection of over 300 high-resolution, multiplanar images, organized into 13 chapters based on different pathologies. The images provide a thorough visual understanding of the complex structures of the temporal bone and related disorders, making it an essential resource for radiologists specializing in otoneuroradiology. It serves both as an in-depth study tool and an easy-to-consult reference for radiologists during their reporting process.
