The purpose of this session is to introduce participants to middle ear optical coherence tomography (ME-OCT) imaging technology. ME-OCT is an emerging otological imaging modality that provides radiation-free, non-contact, real-time, in office structural and functional visualization of the middle ear through the intact tympanic membrane (TM) with high resolution and excellent hard and soft tissue contrast. Like ultrasound, ME-OCT generates depth-resolved images, but it does so using light instead of sound. In addition to imaging, ME-OCT also enables spatially-resolved Doppler vibrometry measurements of middle ear structures that can provide insight into the etiology of conductive hearing loss. Our group has developed a turnkey, handheld ME-OCT system in an otoscopic form factor for clinical imaging. The system, which is capable of real-time 2D, Doppler and 4D volumetric imaging will be demonstrated live during the session. We will also discuss the results of studies in patients, healthy controls and cadaveric temporal bones that explore the technology s utility in addressing clinical problems in otology.
