Anatomy of the Ear01:16

Anatomy of the Ear

11.3K
Auditory sensation, commonly called hearing, involves the transformation of sonic waves into neural impulses facilitated by the structures of the auditory organ. The prominent, flesh-like structure on the side of the head, called the auricle, directs sound waves towards the auditory canal. The auricle is often mislabeled as the pinna, a term more aligned with mobile structures like a feline's external ear. The auditory canal penetrates the cranium via the external auditory meatus of the...

Types of Radioactivity03:23

Types of Radioactivity

19.5K
The most common types of radioactivity are α decay, β decay, γ decay, neutron emission, and electron capture.
Alpha (α) decay is the emission of an α particle from the nucleus. For example, polonium-210 undergoes α decay:

Types of RNA01:23

Types of RNA

72.8K
Overview
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.

Types of Hormones02:13

Types of Hormones

83.3K
Hormones can be classified into three main types based on their chemical structures: steroids, peptides, and amines. Their actions are mediated by the specific receptors they bind to on target cells.

Types of Toxins01:36

Types of Toxins

3.3K
Humans continually engage with an environment rich in potentially harmful chemicals. These are introduced to our bodies through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. These chemicals exist in various forms, such as air and environmental pollutants, agricultural chemicals, organic solvents, and heavy metals.
Air pollutants, primarily gases, pose significant threats to respiratory health, leading to conditions like hypoxia, lung cancer, and in extreme cases, death.
Environmental pollutants like...

Types of Coprecipitation01:10

Types of Coprecipitation

6.1K
Coprecipitation is the contamination of a precipitate by otherwise soluble species and occurs via different processes. In colloidal precipitates, coprecipitation occurs via surface adsorption. For instance, barium sulfate has a primary layer of adsorbed barium ions and a secondary layer of nitrate counterions. This results in contamination of the precipitate by barium nitrate.
Sometimes, ions in a crystal lattice can undergo isomorphous replacement by inclusions of similar charge and size. For...

Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging and visualization
  • Anatomy and morphology
  • Biomedical engineering

Background:

  • Inner-ear malformations present diverse anatomical variations.
  • Accurate 3D visualization aids in understanding complex structures.
  • Clinical imaging modalities like CT and MR provide detailed anatomical data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create 3D models of human inner-ear malformations using CT and MR data.
  • To perform volumetric analysis of the cochlear part in different malformation types.
  • To 3D print segmented inner-ear models for enhanced visualization.

Main Methods:

  • Segmentation of inner-ear structures from CT and MR datasets using 3D Slicer.
  • Application of tight grey-scale thresholds to isolate target anatomy.
  • Volumetric calculations of the cochlea and 3D printing of segmented models.

Main Results:

  • Identified and segmented various inner-ear malformations: normal anatomy (NA), enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome (EVAS), incomplete partition (IP) types I-III, common cavity (CC), and cochlear hypoplasia (CH).
  • 3D models (digital and printed) demonstrated significant variations in size and shape.
  • Volumetric analysis revealed distinct average cochlear volumes for each malformation type (e.g., CC >150mm³, CH <80mm³, NA/EVAS/IP-I 85-105mm³, IP-II ~50mm³).

Conclusions:

  • 3D visualization of inner-ear malformations as digital and 3D printed models offers a novel perspective.
  • Significant volumetric differences in the cochlea exist among various malformation types.
  • This approach enhances the understanding and characterization of inner-ear anomalies.
