Endoscopic vs. volumetric OCT imaging of mastoid bone structure for pose estimation in minimally invasive cochlear implant surgery [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Purpose: The facial recess is a delicate structure that must be protected in minimally invasive cochlear implant surgery. Current research estimates the drill trajectory by using endoscopy of the unique mastoid patterns. However, missing depth information limits available features for a registration to preoperative CT data.
