AbstractAmeliorated computed tomography techniques and new magnetic resonance sequences have led to an important improvement in temporal bone imaging. Computed tomography is still the method of choice for imaging of temporal bone fractures, middle ear disease, and conductive hearing loss, although magnetic imaging can add important information. Patients with lesions of the cerebellopontine angle; internal auditory canal; inner ear; and, in general, all patients with sensorineural hearing loss, vertigo, and tinnitus are best examined with magnetic resonance imaging. In some cases, however, such as congenital malformations and petrous apex lesions, magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography are complementary. The value of both modalities is discussed.
