Temporal bone (TB) studies are essential during the development of new arrays. Postoperative cochlear histology is still regarded as golden standard for the assessment of electrode localization and trauma though it is time consuming, expensive and technically very demanding. The aim of this study is to investigate whether pre-operative evacuation of perilymph improve the assessment of electrode localization and insertion trauma in TBs applying fusion imaging. The results were compared to a prior validated image fusion technique based on the quantification of the electrode placement.
