Computed tomography (CT) is the imaging tool of choice in the diagnosis of temporal bone lesions. With the recent progress in imaging technology, CT with higher spatial resolution (Ultra-high resolution CT) has become available in the clinical setting. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the vi...
