Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To explore an useful and practical method for three-dimensional reconstruction of cochlear microstructure.
METHOD:A digital image dataset of magnified forty times of human cochlear tissue can be get from the serial sections of transverse cedukol images of male cadavers temporal bone. Photoshop 6.0 and Amira 3.0 software were used to deal with the digital image dataset, such as image-connecting and image inner-location and three-dimensional reconstruction of cochlear and scala media.
RESULT:The result of three-dimensional reconstruction of the cedukol images represents the anatomy of human cochlear and scala media transparently and objectively.
CONCLUSION:The three-dimensional reconstruction technique used in the study is practical for three-dimensional of inner ear microstructure.
