Indications of cone beam CT in head and neck imaging.

abstract：:To predict the possible benefit of a cochlear implant to a patient, the clinician requires a reliable objective method to monitor the presence of surviving fibres in the 8th nerve. The subjective promontory test and the evaluation of electrically evoked brainstem potentials are not adequate. An electrical stimulus art...
