Fig. 2From: Photon-counting CT allows better visualization of temporal bone structures in comparison with current generation multi-detector CTCoronal reformatted MDCT (a) and PCCT (b) image through right temporal bone. Incudostapedial joint (left arrow), stapedial head (right arrow) and cortical lining of tympanic segment of facial nerve canal (arrowhead) are labeled.
