Abstract
Demonstrate the ability of a novel steerable distal chip endoscope to traverse the Eustachian tube and provide diagnostic quality images of the human middle ear. Three cadaveric temporal bone specimens were used in this work. Diagnostic transeustachian endoscopy of the middle ear was performed. Diagnostic image quality. A novel 1.62 mm steerable endoscope successfully cannulated the Eustachian tube of three human cadaveric temporal bone specimens to reveal intact middle ear anatomy with high optical clarity. A steerable endoscope can be designed to traverse the human Eustachian tube and provide diagnostic quality images of middle ear anatomy.
