High-resolution CT imaging ([Formula: see text] voxel resolution), along with unique image processing and rendering algorithms, and structure-specific enhancement are needed for high-level training and assessment using temporal bone surgical simulators. Higher-resolution clinical scanning and automated processes that run in efficient time frames are needed before these systems can routinely support pre-surgical planning. Additionally, protocols such as that provided in this manuscript need to be disseminated to increase the number and variety of virtual temporal bones available for training and performance assessment.
