Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an optical imaging technique that uses a low-coherence interferometer to produce depth-resolved scans in tissue. This study will explore the utility of this technology in otology patients presenting with various pathologies as well as normal subjects.
The aim of this study is to understand the diagnostic applications for this imaging technology and identify particular disorders to target for future clinical investigations. Images obtained with the Ossiview device will be correlated to other standard of care (SoC) testing including microscopic otoscopy, CT scans, MRIs, audiologic testing results, and surgical and pathology reports.
