Figure Legend:
The method to generate the cochlear view of Fig. 3 is summarized. (a) While the X-ray and film plane are maintained orthogonal to each other, the skull is positioned against the film such that the angle between it and the midsagittal plane is approximately 50 deg. (b) Next, the skull is adjusted so that the angle between the X-ray and the infraorbitomeatal plane (IOP) is near zero. Upon completion, the modiolar axis is nearly parallel to the X-ray.
