Abstract
In this work, we present a workflow aimed to help ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeons in the planning and analysis of inner ear and cochlear implant (CI) surgical interventions. The proposed workflow, OTOVIRT, is based on a multi-modal image registration process with both computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the patient, followed by the segmentation of anatomical relevant structures. The volumetric images and the 3D anatomic models developed are then used to create virtual surgical simulations of the CI intervention. OTOVIRT modelling workflow proves to be an efficient pipeline to improve surgical outcomes and train surgeons’ capabilities. Further advances in OTOVIRT workflow will hopefully allow multimodal data extraction and multiphysics simulation to be systematically conducted in daily clinical practice.
