Anatomical atlas of the quail's ear (Coturnix coturnix)

This study aims to enhance the anatomical knowledge of the ear of the adult quail (Coturnix coturnix) through the creation of a scaled 3D model utilizing data from micro-CT images. In addition, 17 annotated histological sections of the quail's ear are aligned to their 3D position in the model. The resulting anatomical atlas provides an intuitive insight into the 3D anatomy and can be used for medical education. The model also allows measuring anatomical structures and can thus serve as reference for the quail's auricular anatomy and as a basis to evaluate clinical diagnostic imaging results.

本研究旨在利用显微CT（micro-CT）图像数据构建缩放三维模型，以深化对成年鹌鹑（Coturnix coturnix）耳部解剖结构的认知。此外，本研究将17份带注释的鹌鹑耳部组织学切片与模型中的对应三维位置完成配准。由此构建的解剖图谱可直观呈现耳部三维解剖结构，可应用于医学教育领域。该模型还支持对解剖结构进行定量测量，可作为鹌鹑耳部解剖结构的参考标准，并为临床诊断影像结果的评估提供依据。
