Background:

Cochlear implants (CIs) use electrode arrays to restore hearing by accessing intra-cochlear cavities.
Electrode location within these cavities significantly impacts hearing outcomes.
Current clinical CT imaging lacks visibility of cavities, and existing localization methods are inaccurate or labor-intensive.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate an automated method for identifying the specific intra-cochlear cavity housing each CI electrode.
To enable large-scale analysis of electrode placement and its correlation with hearing outcomes.

Main Methods:

A novel graph-based search algorithm was developed for automatic electrode cavity identification.
The method was tested on CT scans from 34 implanted temporal bone specimens.
High-resolution micro-CT scans were used for ground truth validation of cavity visibility.

Main Results:

The automated method achieved 98% accuracy in classifying electrode positions within cochlear cavities.
The approach demonstrated high precision in identifying electrode locations on clinical CT scans.

Conclusions:

The developed graph-based search method offers an accurate and automated solution for determining electrode placement in cochlear implants.
This technology can facilitate extensive research into the relationship between electrode location and hearing success.
Findings pave the way for optimizing CI surgical techniques and improving auditory rehabilitation for patients.
