First steps: Cochlear implants in rock bones of body donors imaged by photon counter
Authors
Background After the acquisition of a photon counter in the Bundeswehr Central Hospital Koblenz, several series of examinations were carried out. Among other things, 4 rock bones from body donors were drilled out and cochlear implants were implanted in an almost standard manner. Subsequently, these rock bones were set at different measurement settings in the photon counter and examined.
Results Although the number of rock bones is small and cadaver rock bones are more difficult to implant, it can already be shown on these four examples that the imaging is more high-resolution and fewer artefacts worsen the imaging.
Discussion In the context of further studies on humans with and without cochlear implants, the artefact reduction of this imaging method should be examined in particular.
