Abstract: Evaluation of middle ear effusion is essential in diagnostics of otitis media. In this study a new otitis media diagnostic system based on acoustic reflectometry (AR) was preliminarily evaluated and tested with experimental clinical data on 114 ears of 57 children. In the study the ears of the children were measured with the new AR system and the corresponding ear status was definitively assessed in myringotomy by measuring the amount of effusion in the middle ear. The collected data included successful measurements of 71 normal ears (no effusion in the middle ear) and 43 ears with 0.02-0.37 g of middle ear effusion. In the analysis the correspondence between a neural network analysis of the AR measurement data and the corresponding amount of middle ear effusion was analysed using a leave-one-out validation procedure. The preliminary results were promising; the neural network analysis result and the amount of middle ear effusion correlated statistically significantly (p < 0.001), wit h correlation coefficient R = 0.37. In future studies more data will be collected to obtain higher correlation in the analysis. (More)
