• Clinically applicable calculations using high-resolution CT and cone beam CT underestimate the cochlear size. • Ten percent of cochlear duct length need to be added to current calculations in order to predict the postoperative CI electrode position. • The clinically approved otosurgical planning software-based method software is the most suitable to estimate the cochlear duct length and shows an excellent inter-rater reliability.
