Abstract

OBJECTIVE: We examined whether artificial intelligence (AI) used with the novel digital image enhancement system modalities (CLARA+CHROMA, SPECTRA A, and SPECTRA B) could distinguish the cholesteatoma matrix, cholesteatoma debris, and normal middle ear mucosa, and observe the middle ear cavity during middle ear cholesteatoma surgery.
