Coherent Optical Detection of Middle Ear Disease
Otitis Media Diagnosis and Treatment: Coherent Optical Detection of Middle Ear Disease
Medical College of Wisconsin
235 participants
May 24, 2022
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The purpose of this project is to see if optical coherence tomography (OCT), a new technology acting as an ultrasound for the ear, facilitates accurately diagnosing acute otitis media (AOM) and otitis media with effusion (OME) in children. Clinical diagnoses made using solely otoscopy will be compared to those made with the addition of OCT.

- Speak English
Exclusion Criteria4
- Children with craniofacial abnormalities
- Children with diagnosed immunologic abnormalities
- Children with congenital syndromic conditions
- Current open and functioning ear tubes
