Fusion of Preoperative MRI and Postoperative FD-CT for Direct Evaluation of Cochlear Implants

ConclusionThe co-registration of preoperative 1.5 and 3  T MRI with postoperative FD-CT enables a direct evaluation of the position of a CI equivalent to the current standard FD-CT. Despite the fact that CMV provided no additional diagnostic value in this series, regardless whether preoperative 1.5 or 3 T MRI was used for co-registration, it might help to simplify postoperative CI diagnostics.
