The proposed algorithm could successfully segment and analyze the cochlea on UHR-CT images, resulting in accurate measurements of cochlear anatomy. Given the wide variation in cochlear size found in our patient cohort, it may find application as a pre-operative tool in cochlear implant surgery, potentially helping elaborate personalized treatment strategies based on patient-specific, image-based anatomical measurements.
