Intra-operative Optical Coherence Imaging of In-vivo Chronic Otitis Media followed by Post-operative Audiogram Assessments
The successful surgery of chronic otitis media (COM) is challenging; this depends on the surgeon's knowledge of the optical visibility of surgical microscopes. Herein, we reported the utilization of intra-surgical optical coherence tomography (OCT) system to effectively guide the surgery of COM based on augmented reality with cross-sectional images. The intra-surgical spectral-domain OCT system with a center wavelength of 846 nm was capable of obtaining non-invasive, high-resolution, and high-speed visualizations with an axial resolution of 8 μm, lateral resolution of 30 μm, and an extended working distance of 280 mm. Three patients with COM were involved in this research ...
