Abstract
This study showed that μ-CT enables us to visualize the internal fine structure of the human cochlea. As the success rate of the visualization of Reissner membrane is not high, it is necessary to improve the image quality and contrast resolution of μ-CT to enable stable visualization of fine structures. The development of imaging equipment such as μ-CT for medical use should play an important role in the elucidation of the mechanism and the establishment of therapy for inner ear diseases.
