Cone-Beam CT of the Temporal Bone: Normative Linear Biometry of Inner Ear Structures

Key Points

• The aim is to establish normative linear measurements of inner ear structures using cone-beam CT.
• Generated linear measurements from cone-beam CT images of inner ear structures.
• Analyzed various parameters specific to the temporal bone.
• Created reference values for assessing congenital hearing loss.
• Established robust normative measurements for inner ear structures.
• Potentially improved radiologic assessment of congenital hearing loss even in normal-appearing CT exams.
