Subject: location of the sacculus and utricles From: Matt Flax <flatmax(at)MATT.FLAX> Date: Mon, 11 Apr 2005 23:39:01 +1000Hello, I am looking for information on the location of the Vestibular regions of the inner ear from the stapes footplate (or other reference point). I can find great information regarding distance, however am more interested in location (3D location of some sort). The closest I can come is this article : Relationship of the utriculus and sacculus to the stapes footplate: anatomic implications for sound-and/or pressure-induced otolith activation. Backous DD. Minor LB. Aboujaoude ES. Nager GT. Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology. 108(6):548-53, 1999 Jun. ... snippet ... he shortest distance between the footplate and the utriculus was 0.58+/-0.10 mm in the posterior third of the oval window, 1.04+/-0.20 mm in the middle third, and 1.51+/-0.20 mm in the anterior third. The distance from the sacculus to the footplate was 1.33+/-0.20 mm in the middle third of the oval window and 1.31+/-0.18 mm in the anterior third. ... There is this paper which I am trying to get my hands on (currently being processed) : The interutricular distance determined from external landmarks. Nowe V. Wuyts FL. Hoppenbrouwers M. Van de Heyning PH. De Schepper AM. Parizel PM. Journal of Vestibular Research. 13(1):17-23, 2003. any other references welcome ! thank you Matt -- http://www.flatmax.org Public Projects : http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_of_search=soft&words=mffm
