According to recent research published in the journal Laryngoscope, "Deficient cochlear nerves (CN) have been associated with poor cochlear implant performance. Normative data on CN diameter based on radiographic imaging have not been published."
"The objectives of this study were to determine if CN diameter could be reproducibly measured on parasagittal constructive interference in steady state (ClSS)-sequence magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to establish a normative range for CN diameter. Retrospective review of MRI images by two independent blinded observers. Thirty patients (45 ears) with a CISS-sequence MRI done for auditory complaints in patients with ...
