In order to improve the design of intracochlear multichannel electrode arrays, it is fundamental that we have knowledge of the exact anatomical , position of the electrode within the scala of the cochlea. Currently, conventional skull radiography is still the mainstay of post-operative radiological assessment of electrode positioning. The present work investigates the use of phase-contrast radiography, a new x-ray modality, to provide improved imaging of the inner ear and the intracochlear electrode array in the human temporal bone (TB).
