- Use Bone algorithm/kernel
- Orient axial plane along orbito-meatal line (see Figures below)
- 45 degree oblique Poschl view of each temporal bone oriented along plane of superior semicircular canal and perpendicular to long axis of the petrous temporal bone (see Figures below)
- 45 degree oblique Stenvers view of each temporal bone oriented along the long axis of the petrous temporal bone and perpendicular to the plane of the superior semicircular canal (see Figures below)
- Noncontrast for most, contrast for indication for mass or abscess
- For CT Temporal Bone W/ or W/WO- include post contrast 2mm axial and coronal in soft tissue window
