1. Optical Coherence Tomography–Enhanced Microlaryngoscopy: Preliminary Report of a Noncontact Optical Coherence Tomography System Integrated With a Surgical Microscope

   annals.com (Aug 15 2008) Endoscopy , Microscopy Explore Article

   Objectives: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a new imaging modality that uses near-infrared light to produce cross-sectional images of tissue with a resolution approaching that of light microscopy. We have previously reported use of OCT imaging of the vocal folds (VFs) during direct laryngoscopy with a probe held in contact or near-contact with the VFs. This aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a novel OCT system integrated ... (Read Full Article)

2. Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging of the Inner Ear: A Feasibility Study With Implications for Cochlear Implantation

   annals.com (Jun 21 2008) Explore Article

   Cochlear implantation is now being performed in ears with residual hearing. Those implant recipients who keep residual hearing may benefit from improved pitch resolution through both electrical and acoustic hearing. Preservation of cochlear function after implantation is a challenging task for the surgeon. Current topics of hearing preservation research include electrode design and surgical technique. To maintain hearing, surgeons strive to create a cochleostomy and place the electrode in a ... (Read Full Article)

3. Optical Coherence Tomography of the Newborn Airway

   annals.com (Jun 21 2008) Bronchoscopy Explore Article

   Objectives: Acquired subglottic stenosis in a newborn is often associated with prolonged endotracheal intubation. This condition is generally diagnosed during operative endoscopy after airway injury has occurred. Unfortunately, endoscopy is unable to characterize the submucosal changes observed in such airway injuries. Other modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and ultrasound, do not possess the necessary level of resolution to differentiate scar, neocartilage, and edema. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) ... (Read Full Article)
