CT Protocols for Temporal Bone Imaging

This document provides CT scanning protocols for four different anatomical areas: the pituitary gland and sella turcica, the petrous temporal bone and inner ear, the facial bones, and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). For each area, it lists the scout view, slice plane, use of breath hold, need for contrast, start and end locations, slice thickness, window settings, and any gantry tilt used.
