The presented data set consists of images, labels and surface models of 23 human bony labyrinths. For each specimen clinical computed tomography (CT) and co-registered high-resolution micro-CT images were acquired. Using the images, the bony labyrinth was segmented and 3D surface models were generated. Each specimen is accompanied by a description file containing the coordinates of anatomical landmarks and the corresponding cochlear coordinate system. The data set can be used to study the morphology of the inner ear or to evaluate segmentation algorithm as used for the preoperative planning of surgical procedures such as cochlear implantation.
