Linear tomography in congenital abnormalities of the ear.

Abstract Thirty-four cases of congenital deafness have been radiologically examined by plain radiographs and linear tomography (with a high definition technique). The results are set out and the techniques described so that other workers may assess the value of such fairly simple methods against the currently fashionable “polytomography”. It is suggested that linear tomography is a satisfactory technique for the demonstration of even minute anatomy.
