Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic concordance between multislice computed tomography (MSCT) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the early postoperative assessment of patients after cochlear implantation.
Study Design: Prospective, randomized, single-center, interventional, pilot study on the diagnostic performance of a medical device.
Setting: Tertiary referral center. Patients: Patients aged over 18 years requiring a CT scan after cochlear implant surgery.
Interventions: Nine patients were implanted with electrode arrays from three different manufacturers, including one bilateral. High-resolution MSCT and CBCT were then performed, and 2 experienced radiologists blinded to the imaging modality evaluated the randomized images, twice.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cone Beam | Experimental | Patients included will have first a MultiSlice Computed tomography (MSCT) as usual and then a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) | Radiation | Patients had an additional Cone Beam Computed Tomography, after the usual MDCT |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Concordance between MDCT and CBCT for assessing the scalar position of the electrodes | Blinded images were analyzed in random order by 2 radiologists with several years of experience in temporal bone imaging. Each radiologist analyzed on the workstation the images of each patient twice at 4- to 8-week intervals. A consensus reading was performed by a third experienced radiologist in case of discordance. Each radiologist determined CI localization. The cochlear implant (CI) was considered within the scala tympani if it was in the most posterior scala on axial reconstructions passing through the cochlea (behind the osseous spiral lamina often seen). | At inclusion |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| length of the intracochlear electrode array | Blinded images were analyzed in random order by 2 radiologists with several years of experience in temporal bone imaging. Each radiologist analyzed on the workstation the images of each patient twice at 4- to 8-week intervals. A consensus reading was performed by a third experienced radiologist in case of discordance. This measurement was performed in the oblique coronal plane of the cochlea. |
