摘要

Cholesteatomas are benign lesions that form in the middle ear (ME). The standard of care is surgical removal. The traditional clinical approach for identifying cholesteatomas, visualization via a trans-aural approach, must be done in the operating room. This constraint complicates early diagnosis and treatment monitoring. Trans-nasal endoscopy of the ME may permit less invasive visualization as it could potentially be done in an outpatient setting. In this work, we propose a technique to quantitatively analyze the effectiveness of a trans-nasal endoscope for identifying cholesteatomas. Our approach is to quantify the surface area of MEs segmented in 6 CT volumes that is visible from a virtual endoscope inserted trans-nasally. Our preliminary results indicate that cholesteatomas located in certain sub-regions of the ME could indeed be well-visualized with a trans-nasal endoscope. Such an approach could have significant impact by facilitating earlier diagnosis and more frequent post-treatment monitoring of cholesteatomas.
