Research data supporting: "Biomechanics of Eustachian Tube Dysfunction: From Mechanics to Assessment"

Bone-structure 3D model (.stl file) of the human anatomy around the Eustachian Tube obtained from a micro-CT image of a cadaveric specimen. Note that segmented data is available at the associated publication repository for Nava's PhD Thesis. Bone-structure 3D model of the sheep skull base and the air cavity, obtained from a micro-CT image of a cadaveric specimen. The donor of the human cadaver specimen provided informed consent prior to death for anatomical research under the Human Tissue Act 2004 (University of Cambridge, Licence Number 12146). The handling of the specimen complied with the conditions set by the Human Anatomy Centre (HAC) and affirmed as part of the research proposal required by the HAC and the Human Tissue Act (HTA). Further details of the methodology used and ethics approvals are given in the linked publication, Biomechanics of Eustachian Tube Dysfunction: From Mechanics to Assessment, PhD Thesis, Tobia Nava, 2023 available at https://doi.org/10.17863/CAM.111179

本数据集包含两类骨组织三维模型：其一为基于人体尸体标本的显微CT（micro-CT）图像重建得到的咽鼓管周围人体解剖结构三维模型，文件格式为.STL；其二为基于绵羊尸体标本的显微CT图像重建得到的绵羊颅底及气腔的骨组织三维模型。注：托比亚·纳瓦的博士学位论文的关联公开仓库中提供了该人体标本的分割数据集。

人体尸体标本的捐赠者生前已根据《2004年人体组织法案》（Human Tissue Act 2004）签署知情同意书，同意将其遗体用于解剖学研究，相关研究由剑桥大学（University of Cambridge）核发许可，许可编号为12146。该标本的处理符合人体解剖中心（Human Anatomy Centre, HAC）制定的相关规范，并通过了该中心与《人体组织法案》（Human Tissue Act, HTA）要求的研究提案审核。
