Miniaturized Endoscopic 2D US Transducer for Volumetric Ultrasound Imaging of the Auditory System

Conclusion: These results confirm that our technique enables the accurate imaging of the middle and inner ears without having to deteriorate the surrounding bone. Significance: Since US is a real-time, wide available and non-ionizing imaging modality, our acquisition setup could facilitate the minimally invasive diagnosis and surgical navigation for otology in a fast, cost-effective and safe way.
