[Changes in the elemental composition of the temporal bone in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media].

X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy allows an elemental chemical analysis of bone remodeling according to the pathological type and reliably differentiate purulent diseases of the temporal bone. The results are promising from the point of view of developing new prognostic approaches in otosurgery in the management of patients with chronic purulent otitis media, involving the combined use of morphological research methods with microelement analysis of the temporal bone bone tissue.
