Image Quality and Dose Assessment in Inner Ear Computed Tomography Imaging With a Flat Panel-Based System

摘要

Purpose: The temporal bone includes several important structures of the human body, some of which are smaller than 1 mm. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of a computed tomography system capable of providing 3-dimensional images of the inner ear with low doses and a spatial resolution adequate for providing the surgeon with good guidance.
