Improved visualization of the inferior tympanic and mastoid canaliculi with photon counting detector CT
PCD-CT provides superior visualization of the proximal, mid, and distal aspects of the inferior tympanic canaliculus/Jacobsons nerve and mastoid canaliculus/Arnolds nerve compared to EID-CT examinations. The improved visualization of these nerves could be important for characterization of subtle pathology involving these structures, such as tympanic paraganglioma or nodular perineural spread.
