PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Through this interactive presentation, the audience is exposed to challenging temporal bone radiology cases and offered strategies to improve his/her interpretation. The first hour would focus on fundamentals of temporal bone imaging and the second hour on advance case presentation. The emphasis is placed on subtle but pertinent findings on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations and their importance in creating and narrowing a differential diagnoses. This year we will present guidelines to aid in the efficient acquisition and interpretation of imaging for patients with common otologic symptoms and disorders such as hearing loss, chronic ear disease as well as rare and more challenging disorders such as temporal bone fractures, cerebellopontine angle and jugular foramen tumors.

Learning Objectives:

Understand fundamentals of temporal bone imaging.
Order appropriate radiographic tests and understand the strengths and limitations of different imaging modalities.
Interpret key radiographic findings for common pathologic conditions of the temporal bone.
