Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Optical imaging assess properties of the middle ear space [ Time Frame: 6 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The DOS technology assess presence of middle ear fluid or ear drum inflammation during surgical procedure


Estimated Enrollment: 150
Study Start Date: June 2011
Estimated Study Completion Date: June 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date: June 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Intervention Details:
    Device: Diffuse optical spectroscopy imaging
    ear exam imaging
    Other Name: DOSI
Detailed Description:

The research can use low energy laser signal light from DOS device shine into the ear canal to determine the properties of the ear such as the presence of fluid or inflammation of the eardrum.
