A structured approach and report of the temporal bone CT
To understand the complex anatomy of the temporal bone and its key structures visible on CT and learn a systematic, structured method to evaluate temporal bone CT images, starting with axial and coronal planes and including evaluation of pneumatisation, middle and inner ear structures, and critical neurovascular canals.
To recognise common surgically relevant anatomical variants on CT imaging.
To develop skills for clear, comprehensive CT reporting in different clinical settings.
15 min
Imaging of the post-operative skull base
To understand the typical postoperative imaging appearances of skull base reconstructions following various surgical approaches, including open and endoscopic techniques.
To identify and distinguish normal reconstructive tissues from recurrent or re
15 min
Imaging of pulsatile tinnitus
To understand the pathophysiology and clinical significance of pulsatile tinnitus and its relationship to vascular and temporal bone abnormalities.
To learn the imaging modalities and protocols best suited for evaluating patients with pulsatile tinnitus, emphasising CT and MRI techniques.
To identify common and less common causes of pulsatile tinnitus on imaging.
To develop a systematic approach to image interpretation to guide diagnosis and clinical management of pulsatile tinnitus.
