AbstractHigh Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) can demonstrate the detailed anatomy and pathology of the temporal bone and is fast becoming an important imaging modality in the diagnosis and preoperative management of our local patients with temporal bone diseases. We present our experience in the usage of HRCT in temporal bone lesions in Tan Tock Seng Hospital, using 8 cases as illustration. The protocol that we used to obtain the images is described. We also give an overview of those clinical conditions whereby HRCT can provide information which will help surgeons in the management of their patients. These clinical conditions are hearing loss, external auditory canal atresia, middle ear inflammation/cholesteatoma, temporal bone trauma, pulsatile tinnitus and vascular tympanic membrane.
