The human temporal bone is a 3-dimensionally complex anatomic region with many unique qualities that make anatomic teaching and learning difficult. Current teaching tools have proved only partially adequate for the needs of the aspiring otologic surgeon in learning this anatomy. We used a variety of computerized image processing and reconstruction techniques to reconstruct an anatomically accurate 3-dimensional computer model of the human temporal bone from serial histologic sections. The model is viewed with a specialized visualization system that allows it to be manipulated easily in a stereoscopic virtual environment. The model may then be interactively studied from any viewpoint, greatly simplifying the task of conceptualizing and learning this anatomy. The system also provides for simultaneous computer networking that can bring distant participants into a single shared virtual teaching environment. Future directions of the project are discussed.
