Abstract
High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) is nowadays unanimously considered as the first method of choice in imaging of middle ear pathologies. The modern technical improvements make CT more performing; the obtained data volumes with a high spatial resolution can be reconstructed along any required plane. The following chapter presents a brief review of the main technical parameters and the main reconstruction planes to obtain a high diagnostic value of CT evaluation for the most frequent middle ear pathologies. Also one possible method of a systematic reading of the Temporal Bone CT is presented.
