Evaluation by imaging methods of cochlear implant candidates: radiological and surgical correlation.

Unlabelled: Evaluation by imaging methods is critical in the preoperative care of cochlear implant (CI) surgery, providing safety to surgeons when indicating and performing this procedure. The ideal imaging study consists of an association between Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

Aim: To investigate the accuracy of imaging studies as predictors of possible complications of surgery.
