Endoscopic Optical Coherence Tomography in Diagnostics of Otosclerosis
Introduction: Endoscopic Optical Coherence Tomography (eOCT) enables both high-resolution contact-free 3D-imaging of the tympanic membrane and spatial and frequency-resolved oscillation measurement via Doppler-OCT. Thus it is possible to detect causes of conduction hearing loss. In case of otosclerosis, changes in oscillation amplitude at the umbo had been showed via Laser-Doppler-Vibrometry. Material and Methods: The eOCT system utilizes a swept source laser with a wave length around 1300nm. Field-of-view and working distance are 10 mm. Sound stimulus was a Chirp in the frequency range between 0.5 and 5 kHz at 95 dB. Morphological and functional measurements were done on 12 ...
