Abstract

To assess the new multichannel cochlear implant by radiography in Stenver's projection, because MRI generates artifacts, inducing an electrical current and causing device magnetization. CT is relatively expensive and the metal electrodes scatter the image. Multichannel cochlear implant insertion using the multichannel cochlear implant device. Patients underwent postoperative radiography of their implants. The radiographs were obtained in a Stenver's. The insertion depth of the implant was measured on the radiographs and the results were correlated with the surgical results of insertion depth and with audiometric tests. Patients a correct inserted electrode was found, while in patient complications concerning the electrode were noticed. Radiographs in the Stenver's projection are sufficient for the postoperative assessment of the multichannel cochlear implant device and an exact evaluation of the insertion depth.
