Abstract

OBJECTIVE: We compared the diagnostic performance of human clinicians with that of a neural network algorithm developed using a library of tympanic membrane images derived from children taken to the operating room with the intent of performing myringotomy and possible tube placement for recurrent acute otitis media (AOM) or otitis media with effusion (OME).
