Abstract

Technological advancement in computed tomography (CT) and MRI has improved cholesteatoma detection rates considerably in the past decade. Accurately predicting disease location and extension is essential for staging, planning, and preoperative counseling, in particular in the newer approach of endoscopic ear surgery. Improved sensitivity and specificity of these radiological methods may allow the surgeon to confidently monitor patients, therefore avoiding unnecessary surgery. This article outlines recent advances in CT and MRI technology and advantages and disadvantages of the newer techniques. Emphasis on improving the feedback loop between the radiologist and surgeon will increase the accuracy of these new technologies.
