Angles listed are the direction angles (not Fick/Euler angles) between positive Reid's axes, +XREID (anterior), +YREID (left), +ZREID (superior), and positive tips of normal vectors perpendicular to semicircular canals as defined in the text and illustrated in Table 1A and Figure 4. ZREID-R is as defined in Table 1A and B. Below the diagonal, left, and right values are separately averaged pooled over the N = 22 subjects; italicized values above the diagonal are for all N = 44 labyrinths, after mirror-imaging each labyrinth across the YREID (midsagittal) plane, and thus represent the best symmetric estimate of the overall dataset. Note that inter-SCC angles within a single labyrinth (bold values) are close to 90°.
L = left, R = right; A, H, P = anterior, horizontal, and posterior semicircular canals, respectively.
