Aims
The aim of the present investigation is to propose a method to obtain MRI cochlear length measures from the temporal bones of cadavers. Material and
Conclusions
We have concluded that it was possible to measure cochlear length from three dimensional MRI images, by employing the method hereby proposed.
Material and methods
We assessed three dimensional images from the cochlea of six cadavers. By overlapping digitalized rulers on these images it was possible to measure cochlear length.
Methods
We assessed three dimensional images from the cochlea of six cadavers. By overlapping digitalized rulers on these images it was possible to measure cochlear length.
Results
These measures varied between 17 and 26.5 millimeters. Conclusions: We have concluded that it was possible to measure cochlear length from three dimensional MRI images, by employing the method hereby proposed.
