What they found
High-resolution μCT-based finite element model of the human cochlea using temporal bone specimen (6.7 and 3 μm resolution). Derived total cochlear perilymph volume from anatomical measurement.
Numbers that matter
| Parameter | Value | Units | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total human perilymph volume (ST + SV) | ~93 | μL (= mm³) | Single specimen μCT |
Does not subdivide into ST vs SV individually. Clinical perilymph samples collected from patients range from 1–4 μL (a tiny fraction of total).
