National Temporal Bone Database

The Registry has developed and established the national temporal bone database which contains information on archival temporal bone specimens stored in various laboratories and collections in the U.S.  The database contains information on approximately 7,300 cases (12,500 specimens) from 20 different laboratories.  The database is updated and maintained by the Registry.  It is not a substitute for the actual study of temporal bones but allows a researcher to perform simple searches to locate specimens of interest.  The results show the laboratories where specimens that match the query are located.  Investigators should contact the individual laboratories for studying the specimens or for access to the sections.
