Combined high-speed holographic shape and full-field displacement measurements of tympanic membrane.

ABSTRACT: The conical shape of the tympanic membrane (TM or eardrum) plays an important role in its function, such that variations in shape alter the acoustically induced motions of the TM. We present a method that precisely determines both shape and acoustically induced transient response of the entire TM using the same optics and maintaining the same coordinate system, where the TM transient displacements due to a broadband acoustic click excitation (50-?s impulse) and the shape are consecutively measured within <200??ms. Interferograms gathered with continuous high-speed (>2??kHz) optical phase sampling during a single 100-ms wavelength tuning ramp allow precise and rapid reconstructions of the TM shape at varied resolutions (50 to 200???m). This rapid acquisition of full-field displacements and shape is immune to slow disturbances introduced by breathing or heartbeat of live subjects. Knowledge of TM shape and displacements enables the estimation of surface normal displacements regardless of the orientation of the TM within the measurement system. The proposed method helps better define TM mechanics and provides TM structure and function information useful for the diagnosis of ear disease.

Project description:ImportanceTympanic membrane retraction (TMR) is a relatively common otological finding. However, no consensus on its management exists. We are looking especially for a treatment strategy in the military population who are unable to attend frequent follow-up visits, and who experience relatively more barotrauma at great heights and depths and easily suffer from otitis externa from less hygienic circumstances.ObjectiveTo assess and summarize the available evidence for the effectiveness of surgical interventions and watchful waiting policy in patients with a tympanic membrane retraction.Evidence reviewThe protocol for this systematic review was published at Prospero (207859). PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were systematically searched from inception up to September 2020 for published and unpublished studies. We included randomized trials and observational studies that investigated surgical interventions (tympanoplasty, ventilation tube insertion) and wait-and-see policy. The primary outcomes of this study were clinical remission of the tympanic membrane retraction, tympanic membrane perforations and cholesteatoma development.FindingsIn total, 27 studies were included, consisting of 1566 patients with TMRs. We included data from 2 randomized controlled trials (76 patients) and 25 observational studies (1490 patients). Seven studies (329 patients) investigated excision of the TMR with and without ventilation tube placement, 3 studies (207 patients) investigated the wait-and-see policy and 17 studies (1030 patients) investigated tympanoplasty for the treatment of TMRs.Conclusions and relevanceThis study provides all the studies that have been published on the surgical management and wait-and-policy for tympanic membrane retractions. No high level of evidence comparative studies has been performed. The evidence for the management of tympanic membrane retractions is heterogenous and depends on many factors such as the patient population, location and severity of the TMR and presence of other ear pathologies (e.g., perforation, risk of cholesteatoma and serous otitis media).
