Overview: The temporal bone anatomy is difficult to comprehend by looking at cross-sectional CT-images alone. 3D-visualization can help to understand the spatial relationship of the bony parts of the skull base, nerve structures and the middle and inner ear. 2D-images, however, often reflect the anatomy more accurately as some detail is lost by post-processing. Correlation of 2D-images to 3D-models might help to combine the advantages of these two modalities. Correlation of cross-sectional images to 3D-models is a more effective way of reaching a spatial understanding of the individual anatomy. Diagnosis can thus be made easier and the method can further be used for surgical planning and medical education.
