Trial of Micro CT Scanner SKYSCAN1176 for the Imaging of the Guinea Pig Cochlea in vivo

: The usefulness of the micro CT scanner system SKYSCAN1176 was evaluated for the study of the guinea pig cochlea. Each slice of the section was 9 μm and we were able to identify each ossicles, modiolus, upper, middle, and basal turn of the cochlea. This scanner enables us to observe inner ear structure repeatedly in vivo.
