Research software in cochlear duct length estimation, Greenwood frequency mapping and CI electrode array length simulation.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

The size of the cochlea varies a lot among the human population bringing the necessity for electrode arrays to be available in various lengths irrespective of the cochlear implant (CI) brand. This research software helps in the estimation of the patient's cochlear duct length (CDL) which is then used for the simulation of the correct length electrode array matching the patient's cochlear size and as well in getting the patient specific cochlear frequency map.

Methods

Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop is used in the architecture of this research software. The basal turn diameter of the cochlea ("A" value) needs to be measured from the pre-operative computed tomography (CT) image of the patient's temporal bone. This "A" will be taken as th
