A Web-Based Automated Image Processing Research Platform for Cochlear Implantation-Related Studies

ABSTRACT: The robust delineation of the cochlea and its inner structures combined with the detection of the electrode of a cochlear implant within these structures is essential for envisaging a safer, more individualized, routine image-guided cochlear implant therapy. We present Nautilus—a web-based research platform for automated pre- and post-implantation cochlear analysis. Nautilus delineates cochlear structures from pre-operative clinical CT images by combining deep learning and Bayesian inference approaches. It enables the extraction of electrode locations from a post-operative CT image using convolutional neural networks and geometrical inference. By fusing pre- and post-operative images, Nautilus is able to provide a set of personalized pre- and post-operative metrics that can serve the explo
