Application value of magnetic resonance hydrography of the inner ear in cochlear implantation

Abstract

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the application value of magnetic resonance (MR) hydrography of the inner ear in cochlear implantation. METHODS 146 patients were enrolled. MR hydrography and spiral CT examinations for the intracranial auditory canal were performed before surgery, and all imaging results were statistically analyzed in order to explore the application value of MR hydrography of the inner ear in cochlear implantation. RESULTS 146 patients (292 ears) were examined. Among these patients, 13 were diagnosed with abnormal vestibular aqueducts (20 ears) by MR hydrography, while five were diagnosed with this disease by CT; 15 patients were diagnosed with inner ear malformation (19 ears) by MR hydrography, while 11 were diagnosed by CT (four were misdiagnosed); five patients were diagnosed with internal acoustic canal stenosis (eight ears) by MR hydrography, while two were diagnosed by CT (three were misdiagnosed); and four patients were diagnosed with cochlear fibrosis (five ears) by MR hydrography, while four were diagnosed by CT (four ears). The correct rate of diagnosis was 77.40% (113/146) based on CT, while the rate was 93.84% (137/146) based on MR hydrography. CONCLUSIONS MR hydrography imaging technique can be applied to the preoperative evaluation of cochlear implantation, providing accurate and reliable anatomic information on the inner membranous labyrinth and nerves in the internal acoustic canal and an accurate basis for the diagnosis of cochlear fibrosis and nerve development. This has a guiding significance for the selection of treatment schemes.

Realization Path of College Students’ Network Ideological and Political Teaching System in the New Media Environment

“…Liu et al believed that strengthening the psychological construction of students is an important way that can improve the quality of teaching in schools, so as to promote the development of students' ideological education [1]. Wang et al found that many scholars pay more attention to the use of red resources combined with ideological and political knowledge to influence students' personal thoughts, but the use of red resources in ideological and political courses requires certain objective conditions [2]. Chen thought that in the context of the era of big data, the way of thinking and behavior of college students are more complex and diversified, which put forward higher and stricter educational requirements for IPE [3].…”

“…e innovations of the article are: (1) Using the K-means clustering algorithm to analyze whether network information corresponds to correct values in the context of the current era. (2) Combined with the ant colony algorithm, the implementation path of the network ideological and political teaching system is studied. e research results have illustrated the e ective role of this method in the research of the college students' network ideological and political teaching system.…”

Classification Method of Ideological and Political Resources of Broadcasting and Hosting Professional Courses Based on SOM Artificial Neural Network

“…rough the above process, we can obtain the decomposition results of the characteristics of ideological and political resources of all broadcasting and hosting professional courses [14][15][16].…”

The Optimization Strategy of College Students’ Ideological and Political Management under the Internet+ Environment

“…Judging by the results of research by Wang Ping and others on this issue, the problems that exist in the management culture and politics in the colleges and universities generally include the following ve factors. First, the business management strategy lags behind [11]. Verma and others believe that at present, colleges and universities adopt the traditional administrative command management concept, which is lack of innovation, adhering to the concept of "social standard" in management and ignoring the subjective needs of students and lacking humanism.…”
