Abstract:ObjectiveThis study aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the spatial orientation of the crista ampullaris within the inner ear and its implications for the diagnosis and management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).MethodsUsing high-resolution MRI scans of 55 normal inner ears, 3D models of the semicircular canals were segmented. These were complemented by detailed membrane labyrinth models from micro-CT scans of human temporal bones, accessed via the Comparative Ear Bank (www.earbank… Show more
