OCT image findings suggest surgical intervention consisting of myringotomy and tympanostomy tube placement provides a means to clear the middle ear of infection-related components, including middle-ear fluid and biofilms. Patients with no recurrence of infectious symptoms had no additional structures visible in OCT images during the postoperative visit. OCT images of most all participants showed the presence of additional infection-related biofilm structures during their initial consultation visit and similarly for patients imaged intraoperatively before myringotomy.

Imaging results were compared with clinical outcomes to correlate the clearance of symptoms in relation to changes in the image-based features of infection.

At each time point (preop, intraop, postop), the tympanic membrane (at the light reflex region) and directly adjacent middle-ear cavity were observed in vivo with a handheld OCT probe and portable system. Following OCT imaging, patient records were observed for an additional 6 months in follow-up. Patients were followed before and throughout their treatment.

Monroy et al (2017) conducted a prospective observational case series in which optical coherence tomography (OCT) tracking was used to observe 25 pediatric patients diagnosed with chronic or recurrent otitis media perioperatively. Analogous to ultrasound by measuring the intensity of infrared light rather than acoustical waves, it is suggested that OCT could be a useful tool to see through the tympanic membrane into the middle ear without requiring surgical manipulation, and to help diagnose diseases associated with the tympanic membrane and middle ear (Cho et al., 2015 Pitris et al., 2001). OCT technology is now emerging as a diagnostic tool for imaging the auditory system. OCT was developed as a technique enabling high-resolution, real-time and in-situ imaging of tissue microstructure without the need for tissue excision and processing (Popescu, 2011). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive, non-contrast imaging technology which uses near-infrared light to produce high-resolution cross-sectional images.
