The Opportunity Cochlear implant surgery is a well-established therapy that restores hearing of patients with severe to profound hearing loss. It has benefited more than 1 million patients worldwide. However, despite major technological advances, many challenges, such as variability of hearing performance, surgical outcomes, and risk of losing residual hearing, still remain. Introducing detailed anatomical information into the clinical workflow, from improved surgical planning and simulation through to enhanced fitting paradigms, provides an opportunity to improve hearing outcomes for many patients. To this end, this project aims to develop automated algorithms for the identification (segmentation) of anatomical structures of the temporal bone. The following tasks will be undertaken:
Scholarship Description This is a full-time on-site role for a PhD Scholarship - CT and MRI Multimodal Segmentation of the Cochlea and Adjacent Anatomical Structures at the University of Melbourne. This scholarship is funded by Neurelec SAS (Oticon Medical), France. In this role, the successful candidate will be responsible for conducting research and developing methods for the multimodal segmentation of the cochlea and adjacent anatomical structures using CT and MRI imaging technologies. The candidate will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of researchers and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in this area.
