Fusion of Middle Ear Optical Coherence Tomography and Computed Tomography
In this case series, while OCT was not capable of replacing CT due to its limited FOV and inability to image through thick bony tissues, it visualized signs of pathology, including some soft tissue features, that are difficult to visualize with CT. Given OCT's ability to image in real time, its compatibility with in-office imaging, and its lack of ionizing radiation, it may, despite its limitations compared with CT, be an appealing imaging modality for many applications in middle ear diagnostics.
