Method for uncoiled cochlear reconstructions (UCR). (A) line is drawn along the implanted array in the oblique ‘cochlear view’ reconstruction with 2 mm thickness. The red circles depict the manually selected points that were used to trace the array. The yellow line shows the cross section perpendicular to this tracing line. (B) Subsequently, these reconstructions generated a planar two-dimensional image with implanted array, UCR. The cochlear structure is therefore viewed from the side, with upper half being the scala vestibuli (SV) and lower part scala tympani (ST). The first basal segment is characterized by the cochlear hook.
