Optical coherence tomography in otitis media with effusion diagnosing

摘要

The preliminary results of the project devoted to the use of optical coherence tomography technique to evaluate themiddle ear effusion condition are presented. The method of estimation of the middle ear effusion viscosity using theFourier analysis of the OCT data is proposed. The method provides the possibility to distinguish areas filled by water andeffusion in situ. The data on use of the especially-developed SD OCT system is reported.
