Publicationdate July 1, 2009. The aim of this presentation is to demonstrate imaging findings of common diseases of the temporal bone. CT is the imaging modality of choice for most of the pathologic conditions of the temporal bone, especially for those of the middle ear. MRI is more useful for diseases of the inner ear. Disease processes in the pontine angle and in the internal acoustic meatus are not discussed.
Java allows an instance of an abstract class to be instantiated. Late binding refers to the method definition being associated with the method invocation when the method is invoked at run time. Early binding enables the compiler to be more efficient.
The parentheses tell Python to execute the named function rather than just refer to the function. Python goes back and looks up the definition, and only then, executes the code inside the function definition. The term for this action is a function call or function invocation.
