Human Bony Labyrinth: Co-Registered CT and micro-CT Images, Surface Models and Anatomical Landmarks

This data set consists of 23 specimens of the human bony labyrinth. For each specimen clinical CT (0.15×0.15×0.2 mm3, voxel size) and co-registered microCT (0.06 mm isotropic voxel size) images are available. Image labels for the bony labyrinth are provided for the same image coordinates. From the image labels, 3D surface models were generated. In addition, each specimen has a descriptor file containing the coordinates of anatomical landmarks as well as a cochlear coordinate system. The data set can be used to study the morphology of the inner ear or to evaluate (semi-)automated segmentation algorithms (e.g., for the preoperative planning of surgical procedures such as cochlear implantation).
