Abstract
The study goal was to post a complete set of temporal bone anatomy slides on the World Wide Web for anatomic study. Magnification of the width of the sections varied from 2.4 to 33.6 inches. Good representation of gross and tissue anatomy was obtained, but cellular detail was lacking. The website used approximately 37 megs of disk space. The resultant website provides a cost-effective method of presenting large color photographs of temporal bone anatomy. Thumbnails allow comparison between sections, which aids in learning 3-dimensional anatomy. A method for measuring distance on digitized images is also described. The sections may be viewed at www.ear-anatomy.com, and continuing medical education credits may be earned at www.cme-usa.org.
