Abstract
Evaluation of radiographs of the pyramid of the temporal bone is of particular importance in connection with the introduction into practice of methods of surgical treatment of many forms of hearing loss. The lack of precise objective criteria for determining the degree of pathological rarefaction or compaction to which the temporal bone is exposed during the development of the otosclerotic process reduces the possibility of sufficiently accurate diagnosis and, moreover, predicting the effectiveness of the operation. The visual assessment of the density of the pyramids of the temporal bones on radiographs is not objective enough and depends largely on the experience of the doctor.
