The human middle ear in motion: 3D visualization and quantification using dynamic synchrotron-based X-ray imaging

Abstract The characterization of the vibrations of the middle ear ossicles during sound transmission is a focal point in clinical research. However, the small size of the structures, their micrometer-scale movement, and the deep-seated position of the middle ear within the temporal bone make these t...
