title: A simple CT method for location of auditory brain stem implant electrodes.
abstract: A method for locating auditory brain stem implant electrodes that have been placed in the lateral recess of the fourth ventricle is described. CT bone window images are "inverted" to black on white, then manually superimposed onto soft-tissue window images to enable identification of electrodes in relation to soft-tissue structures.
