We present results from an ongoing clinical trial examining the use of structural and Doppler-mode optical coherence tomography (OCT) for imaging the middle ear. Based on our preliminary findings, Doppler-mode OCT appears to offer a highly sensitive and specific method for diagnosing otosclerosis. More generally, it provides useful diagnostic information about the mechanics of the middle ear unavailable with competing modalities that can inform clinical decision making.
