Purpose: Radiological assessment of osseointegration of mastoid grafts: biological hydroxyapatite (Bio-Oss®) (BHA) versus bioglass S53P4 (Bonalive®) (BG).

Methods: Retrospective (10 ± 4 months post-surgery) monocentric high resolution computed tomography (CT) scan assessment (November 2018 and October 2020) by two independent radiologists (R1, R2), blinded to patient allocation. All patients who had undergone a total mastoid obliteration were eligible.

Purpose: Isolated congenital anomalies of the stapes are infrequent but highly variable. The goal of this study is to present the numerous observed anomalies based on a large number of cases, and to describe anatomical variations and malformations of the stapes using high-resolution computed tomography (CT), after proper reorientation in the "axial stapes" plane.

Materials And Methods: The 1805 CT of temporal bones performed during the past 5 years have been retrospectively studied.

Object: Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis (ISCM) is a rare but devastating complication of cancer. Due to both widespread MRI availability and longer survival of cancer patients, the probability of discovering an ISCM during the course of the disease has increased and raised issues regarding the management of these patients, and particularly the place of surgery. In this study, we assess predictive factors for surgical outcome and survival.

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a new method for the 3-dimensional reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) images by means of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In a preliminary study, this modality of 3-D representation was tested to evaluate the joint motion.

Study Design: Sagittal MRI slices were obtained from a healthy subject.
