Abstract

The resource to an image analyzer of coronal plates resulting from computer tomography (CT) of temporal bones suffering chronic otorrhea (tympanosclerosis and cholesteatoma) and its comparison with other plates of normal subjects, allowed the AA. to settle different clear cut densitometric profiles. Hereby a first attempt of objective assessment of radiological images of these pathologies could be contemplated.
