Best Investigation of choice for a lesion of the temporal bone is which of the following?
X-ray
USG
CT
MRI
CT scan is preferred over MRI to visualize the bony architecture. Thus any lesion in the temporal bone is characterised by a CT scan. The extent of osseous destruction brought about by the lesion is visualized in a multi-planar CT.
