5. Conclusion
The study quantifies the shape and morphology of the IAC from landmark
measurements on CT images. Inter-person variations observed imply that
the dimensions and shape of the IAC cannot be generalised. The
information from this study could assist researchers to reconstruct 3D
computational cochlear models that include the IAC. As the shapes of the
IAC have been linked to some malformations and diseases, it can be used
as a diagnostic tool for otorhinologists.
