Using the shortwave infrared to image middle ear pathologies.
Visualizing structures deep inside opaque biological tissues is one of the central challenges in biomedical imaging. Optical imaging with visible light provides high resolution and sensitivity; however, scattering and absorption of light by tissue limits the imaging depth to superficial features. Imaging with shortwave infrared light (SWIR, 1-2 μm) shares many advantages of visible imaging, but...
متن کاملInterleukin-8 and chemotactic activity of middle ear effusions.
The importance of interleukin (IL)-8 in the chemotactic activity of middle ear effusions (MEEs) was evaluated. There was a significantly higher IL-8 concentration in MEEs of children with acute otitis media (AOM) (n = 17; 136 ng/mL) than in children with otitis media with effusion (OME) (n = 28; 65 ng/mL). The IL-8 concentration in MEEs with bacteria (149 ng/mL) was significantly higher than in...
متن کاملVideo-otoscopy recordings for diagnosis of childhood ear disease using telehealth at primary health care level.
We studied the diagnoses made by an otologist and general practitioner (GP) from video-otoscopy recordings on children made by a telehealth facilitator. The gold standard was otomicroscopy by an experienced otologist. A total of 140 children (mean age 6.4 years; 44% female) were recruited from a primary health care clinic. Otomicroscopic examination was performed by an otologist. Video-otoscopy...
متن کاملA Hybrid Algorithm based on Deep Learning and Restricted Boltzmann Machine for Car Semantic Segmentation from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)-based Thermal Infrared Images
Nowadays, ground vehicle monitoring (GVM) is one of the areas of application in the intelligent traffic control system using image processing methods. In this context, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles based on thermal infrared (UAV-TIR) images is one of the optimal options for GVM due to the suitable spatial resolution, cost-effective and low volume of images. The methods that have been prop...
متن کاملInvestigation of middle ear anatomy and function with combined video otoscopy-phase sensitive OCT.
We report the development of a novel otoscopy probe for assessing middle ear anatomy and function. Video imaging and phase-sensitive optical coherence tomography are combined within the same optical path. A sound stimuli channel is incorporated as well to study middle ear function. Thus, besides visualizing the morphology of the middle ear, the vibration amplitude and frequency of the eardrum a...
