OBJECTIVE: Tympanic membrane (TM) thickness is an important parameter for differentiation between a healthy and a pathologic TM. Furthermore, it is needed for modeling the middle ear function. Endoscopic optical coherence tomography (eOCT) provides the opportunity to measure the TM thickness of the entire TM in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 27 healthy ears were examined by eOCT. The system uses a light source with a central wavelength of 1,300 nm. The endoscope with an outer diameter of 3...
