title: [Temporal bone tomography for cochlear implantation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To discuss a new temporal bone tomography radiographic technique for the assessment of cochlear implantation and its clinic value.
  
  
  METHODS
  Plane radiographs of both the temporal bone tomography and cochlear position tomography were taken on 10 children after cochlear implantation. The numbers of inserted electrodes of both techniques were compared.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The inserted electrodes were shown clearly in both techniques. There was no difference in the data between the 2 methods and between the operation and radiography outcomes(P>0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Temporal bone tomography is a new method to evaluate cochlear implants in postoperative patients.
