Three-dimensional reconstruction of the incudostapedial joint with helical computed tomography
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 June 2007
Abstract
Three-dimensional images of the incudostapedial joint (I-S joint) were reconstructed using helical computed tomography (CT). The images of the joint were most often reconstructed when threshold values were selected at −500 to −700 Hounsfield Units. These shapes were changed by choosing various threshold values. Histological examinations of the cadaver specimen indicate that these changes are due to structure of the I-S joints. We conclude that these 3-D images may be useful in assessing pathology of the I-S joint.
