Cochlear duct length along the outer wall vs organ of corti: Which one is relevant for the electrode array length selection and frequency mapping using Greenwood function?

Cochlear duct length (CDL) measurement or estimation is a hot topic for various research groups in the cochlear implant (CI) field as of today. Getting the CDL along the outer wall (LW) and organ of corti (OC) is possible but considering the clinical application especially in the selection of the el...

The ratio between CDL (LW) and CDL (OC) is 0.9 which is a very important number that needs to be remembered when converting CDL (LW) to CDL (OC).
