Temporal bone (Stenvers view)
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Stenvers view is a oblique radiographic projection used to demonstrate the petrous temporal bone, IAM and bony labyrinth. Fine slice multi-detector CT of the petrous bone has replaced the Stenver view due to far superior anatomic detail. It was also used to assess electrode placement following the insertion of a cochlear implant, but has been succeeded by the modified Stenvers view.
The central beam is positioned 45 degrees with the plane of IRand 12 degrees cephalad.
A similar projection can be obtained on reconstructed CT images, approximated by an oblique coronal projection.
