Characterizing bone density pattern and porosity in the human ossicular chain using synchrotron microtomography

Abstract The auditory ossicles amplify and transmit sound from the environment to the inner ear. The distribution of bone mineral density is crucial for the proper functioning of sound transmission as the ossicles are suspended in an air-filled chamber. However, little is known about the distributio...
