Use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography in the Diagnosis of Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence

Ilson Sepulveda, Thomas Schmidt, Enrique PlatinJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2014 4(1):49-49Superior semicircular canal dehiscence is a relatively new syndrome in the field of otology. It is of unknown etiology presenting with a variety of vestibular and auditory symptoms and radiologic findings play a crucial role in its diagnosis. Cone beam computed tomography has been shown to be a powerful tool in the field of otolaryngology. It is a three dimensional technique that uses lower radiation resulting in fewer artifacts and offers higher resolution when compared with multi-slice computed tomography. It is considered to be an excellent imaging modality for radiological exploration of the ear.
