Don't want to get the temporal bone CT scan. Is it possible to image this condition with a ultrasound or rule it out through other means?
A CT scan is not a guarantee of getting cancer. I have had four CT scans in my life. Head scans tend to use less radiation than other scans. In fact, you can look up radiation data and compare the amount in a specific CT scan versus flying on a plane, eating a banana, a dental X-ray, etc.its the right tool for cancer

No offense but I posted this not to argue about the dangers of CT scans and trust me you are totally misrepresenting the dangers of it.
Since posting this I found an article on MRI having a 100% negative predictive value for canal dehiscence (in other words not being able to specify but able to rule out)
and there is a lot going on with ultrasound of the ear I just was hoping someone had specificly used it for this purpose and could tell the tale.
