  • Title: [3D reconstruction by high resolution MR tomography of the inner ear].
    Author: Leuwer R, Schubert R, Siepmann G.
    Journal: Laryngorhinootologie; 1993 Jun; 72(6):288-90. PubMed ID: 8333883.
    Abstract:
    By means of modern 3D-visualization systems it is possible to render detailed reconstructions of very small morphological structures such as the inner ear. Aim of the present study was to demonstrate the imaging quality of a new 3D-segmentation program developed in the University of Hamburg. The investigation was carried out on a high-resolution MR-tomography of the author's labyrinth and facial nerve. The images were obtained with a fast-field-echo technique using a surface coil. 32 axial slices of 1.0 mm thickness were used for reconstruction. Thus it was possible to completely visualize cochlea, semicircular canals and facial nerve. Especially the filiform substructures of the inner ear could reliably be reconstructed. So the content of information of the MR-investigation could be increased by the 3D-technique applied.
