FIG 2. Case 1. A and B, Oblique MPRs of high-resolution MSCT images in the plane of the electrode array demonstrate 16 electrode contacts within the scala tympani. The tip of the electrode (contacts 1–3) projects cranial to contacts 4–6, indicating kinking of the electrode array. C–F, 3D VR images confirm this finding. On conventional radiography (cochlear view) electrode contacts 1–6 would be superimposed on each other, as compared with image 2C. R indicates reference electrode; M, modiolus.
