Analysis of non-implanted ears with comparison of different radiological settings and modalities in a clinical setting (Group 1). Bar shows absolute values of measurements of the CDLOC based on MSCT, fpVCT and fpVCTSECO (A). Bland–Altman plots were constructed to visualize discrepancies within the two test series of the various imaging settings and modalities (B–D). According to Koch et al. [7], a clinically acceptable deviation of ± 1.5 mm was assumed analyzing CDLOC. Differences between the cohorts are indicated as significant, ***p ≤ 0.001. MSCT: multislice computed tomography, fpVCT: flat-panel volume computed tomography, fpVCTSECO: fpVCT secondary reconstruction
