A contribution to the anatomy of two rare cetacean species: The hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The anatomical description of the hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica) remains largely unexplored, due to limited specimen availability and preservation challenges. This study employed digital imaging techniques, conventional histology, and computed tomography to provide visualization of

Preserved balance in a patient with congenital absence of two semicircular canals: a case report

The Egyptian Journal of Otolaryngology
Background The semicircular canals are crucial components of the vestibular system, responsible for detecting angular head movements and maintaining balance. Their absence or malformation typically leads to significant vestibular dysfunction.

Statistical shape modeling of the human inner ear through micro‐computed tomography imaging

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
In this study, 54 cadaveric temporal bone specimens underwent high‐resolution micro‐CT imaging. Images were semi‐automatically segmented and converted to 3D surface mesh models for morphological measurement and analysis. Statistical shape models were created for the inner ear, cochlea, and vestibular system, as well as for sex‐ and side‐based subgroups.

The braincase of Malawisaurus dixeyi (Sauropoda: Titanosauria): A 3D reconstruction of the brain endocast and inner ear.

PLoS ONE, 2019
A braincase of the Cretaceous titanosaurian sauropod Malawisaurus dixeyi, complete except for the olfactory region, was CT scanned and a 3D rendering of the endocast and inner ear was generated. Cranial nerves appear in the same configuration as in other

Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence Syndrome without Vestibular Symptoms

International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2014
Introduction Superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome is mainly characterized by vestibular symptoms induced by intense sound stimuli or pressure changes, which occur because of dehiscence of the bony layer covering the superior semicircular canal.

Repeated video head impulse testing in patients is a stable measure of the passive vestibulo-ocular reflex

Journal of Otology, 2021
Objectives: The video head impulse test (vHIT) is used as a measure of compensation yet it’s stability in patients with vestibular pathology is unknown. Methods: 144 patients (n = 72 female, mean 54.46 ± 15.8 years) were grouped into one of three primary

Deep Learning-Based Inner Ear Subregion Segmentation in 3D T2-Weighted MRI Using Label-Preserving Data Augmentation. [PDF]

NMR Biomed
A deep learning segmentation model was proposed for automated inner ear subregion segmentation using 3D T2‐weighted MRI. A transformer‐based model with label‐preserving data augmentation improves delineation of thin and complex structures such as the semicircular canals.

Ontogeny of murine bony semicircular canal form

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The labyrinthine geometry and functional anatomy of the semicircular canals have intrigued scientists for decades, and there has been considerable interest in understanding how these complex structures grow and develop with evidence emerging from human studies that size maturation occurs exceptionally early by comparison with other systems ...

Systematic Method for Morphological Reconstruction of the Semicircular Canals Using a Fully Automatic Skeletonization Process

Applied Sciences, 2019
We present a novel method to characterize the morphology of semicircular canals of the inner ear. Previous experimental works have a common nexus, the human-operator subjectivity. Although these methods are mostly automatic, they rely on a human decision

Early Pliocene Varanus (Squamata, Varanidae) remains from Megalo Emvolon, Thessaloniki, Greece

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
The article describes new cranial and postcranial varanid material from Megalo Emvolon Lower Pliocene vertebrate fossil site near Thessaloniki. The fossils, likely representing a single individual, are referred to Varanus cf. marathonensis. Abstract This study describes new fossil varanid material from a recently discovered fossil spot (MVL site) at ...
