Objective: To get the three-Dimensional imaging model of internal ear and middle ear using the Micro-CT equipment, and research the nondestructive imaging of mice acoustic capsule, and investigate the application of Micro-CT inmorphology of acoustic capsule.
Methods: The mice were executed to harvest the acoustic capsules. The acoustic capsules were fixed in trinitrophenol before scanning by Micro-CT .Using this equipment, we obtained a 3D model of reconstruction from 2D images.
Results: The 3D model of acoustic capsule and the model was extraordinary clear to show the eardrum, ossicles chain, vestibulum, semicircular canal, and cochlear. The 3D structure model was excellent for look through, and it was free to revolve in any axial direction on the platform of software Amira-5.4.
Conclusions: By using Micro-CT equipment to research the nondestructive three-Dimensional imaging of acoustic capsule, the outside structures and internal details of the acoustic capsule can be observed at the same time. 3D structure model which was good for looking through. Using Micro-CT equipment is easy to operate and also can save a lot of samples, and the images have high resolution ratio. Micro-CT has good prospects for development.

The otic capsule and surrounding temporal bone exhibit complex 3D motion influenced by frequency and location of the bone conduction stimulus. The resultant correlation with the intracochlear pressure is not sufficiently understood, thus is the focus of this study, both experimentally and numerically. Experiments were conducted on six temporal bones from three cadaver heads, with BC hearing aid stimulation applied at the mastoid and classical BAHA locations across 0.

Article Synopsis
- - The retrosigmoid approach (RSA) is effective for treating vestibular schwannomas while aiming to preserve hearing, but careful dissection is necessary to avoid damaging surrounding structures in the cerebellopontine angle.
- - This study aimed to establish reference values for the endolymphatic sac and duct (ELSD) to safely expose the internal auditory canal (IAC) during surgery.
- - Findings revealed consistent distances between the ELSD and the acoustic pore across specimens, but significant variability in measurements related to the jugular foramen, indicating a need for caution in surgical approaches.

Purpose: To identify risk factors and perioperative complications and assess postoperative visual outcome in patients of white mature cataracts undergoing phacoemulsification surgery.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 46 patients of white mature cataract undergoing phacoemulsification. Preoperatively, a detailed ocular examination was done, and anterior chamber depth (ACD) and lens thickness (LT) were measured on ultrasound biomicroscopy.

Evaluating the biomechanical properties of the lens and lens capsule is important for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of age-related cataracts and presbyopia. In this study, we developed an optical coherent elastography technique to assess the elasticity of the lens and lens capsule in the human eye. With age, the mean Young's modulus of the lens increased from 12.
