Infrared tympanic thermometry [PDF]
The accuracy of this method is attributed to the tympanic membrane's close anato~nic proximity to the hypothalamic thermore-gulatory centre and common blood supply from the carotid artery. Since temperature is displayed within one second, the ear thermometer (which is marketed in the shape of an otoscope) offers a les stressful and faster method of ...

Morphological relationships between external auditory canal and vital structures of tympanic cavity
Purpose We aimed to evaluate the morphology of the external auditory canal (EAC) using a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of computed tomography (CT) scans of the temporal bone to corroborate and predict important anatomical structures involved in ...

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