Abstract

Objective To explore three dimensional (3D) visualization of membranous labyrinth using a voxel model. Methods 3D Slicer software was used to deal with MRI images of the temporal bone, volume clipping with the model, three-dimensional display of the membranous labyrinth by both surface rendering and volume rendering. Results With the inner voxel model we explored not only the surface of inner ear，but also the membranous labyrinth inside. The file size of inner ear voxel model file was smaller than surface model file. Conclusion Inner ear voxel model is invaluable in the study of inner ear anatomy.
