fig 5.

The results of the optimal combination of imaging and visualization technique in a single healthy subject (5000/250; FOV, 130 mm²; matrix, 256²). All renderings were derived from the same image data set.

A, Method 1: MIP.

B, Method 2: ray casting with transparent voxels.

C, Method 3: ray casting with opaque voxels.

D, Method 4: isosurface rendering (white arrow indicates the posterior semicircular canal; solid black arrow, the lateral semicircular canal; open arrow, the basal turn of the cochlea).
