Intraoperatives Tip-Foldover-Screening mittels Spread of Excitation Messungen

In rare cases, a cochlear implantation can lead to a so-called tip fold-over during insertion of the electrode array. In order to detect or exclude such a misalignment a radiological check of the cochlear implant (CI) electrode array is carried out intra- or often post-operatively (gold standard), thereby exposing the patient to additional radiation. Alternatively, successful electrode insertion can be verified by measuring the spread of...
