Anatomic verification of automatic segmentation algorithms for precise intrascalar localization of cochlear implant electrodes in adult temporal bones using clinically-available computed tomography

摘要

Objectives/HypothesisWe have previously described a novel, automated, non-rigid, model-based method for determining the intrascalar position of cochlear implant (CI) electrodes arrays within human temporal bones using clinically available, flat-panel volume computed tomography (fpVCT). We sought to validate this method by correlating results with anatomic microdissection of CI arrays in cadaveric bones.
