Applications of artificial intelligence in the temporal bone

Aïna Venkatasamy, Strasbourg / France

To describe the currently reported applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in interpreting imaging of temporal bone conditions.
To review the evidence of benefits of AI in the temporal bone from clinical studies.
To discuss the future utilisation of AI in the temporal bone and the challenges of integrating it into clinical practice.

Visualisation of the temporal bone with photon-counting CT

Robert Hermans, Leuven / Belgium

To present the technical principles of photon counting CT (PCCT) and its application to the temporal bone.
To review the current literature concerning visualisation of temporal bone structures and dose reduction with PCCT compared to multi-detector CT.
To illustrate pathological conditions where PCCT may offer superior diagnostic ability in the temporal bone.

Lateral sinus anomalies and pulsatile tinnitus: the role of radiology in diagnosis and management

Raoul Pop, Strasbourg / France

To review the pathophysiology and the evidence for transverse sinus stenosis or sigmoid sinus wall anomalies being a cause of pulsatile tinnitus.
To discuss the diagnostic imaging investigations available and the important standard and advanced imaging features of these lateral sinus anomalies in the context of pulsatile tinnitus.
To describe potential endovascular investigations and therapies available and how patients are selected for these techniques.
