New Imaging Tool Measures Inner Ear Fluid to Assess Hearing Loss

New imaging tool measures inner ear fluid to assess hearing loss

Optical coherence tomography (OCT), a tool routinely used to diagnose and plan treatment for eye diseases, has now been modified to collect images of the inner ear.

New imaging method links inner ear fluid levels to severity of hearing loss

Optical coherence tomography (OCT), a tool routinely used to diagnose and plan treatment for eye diseases, has now been modified to collect images of the inner ear.

Hearing Loss Detection Improved by Modified Ophthalmology Imaging Tool

Adaption of an imaging tool routinely used by ophthalmologists can provide detailed images of the inner ear which could lead to earlier and more precise diagnoses of sensorineural hearing loss, according to researchers at the Keck School of Medicine at University of Southern California. The proof-of-concept study, published in Science Translational Medicine, showed how the noninvasive technology called optical coherence tomography (OCT) could be…
