BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied to otolaryngology. However, existing supervised learning methods cannot easily predict data outside the learning domain. Moreover, collecting diverse medical data has ...
BACKGROUND: Recent advances in artificial intelligence have facilitated the automatic diagnosis of middle ear diseases using endoscopic tympanic membrane imaging.
Artificial ears with intelligence, which can sensitively detect sound-a variant of pressure-and generate consciousness and logical decision-making abilities, hold great promise to transform life. However, despite the emerging flexible sensors for sou...
PURPOSE: Tympanostomy tube (TT) placement is the most frequently performed ambulatory surgery in children under 15. After the procedure it is recommended that patients follow up regularly for "tube checks" until TT extrusion. Such visits incur direct...

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to develop and validate a deep learning (DL) model to identify atelectasis and attic retraction pocket in cases of otitis media with effusion (OME) using multi-center otoscopic images.
BACKGROUNDS AND OBJECTIVE: Evaluating the tympanic membrane (TM) using an otoendoscope is the first and most important step in various clinical fields. Unfortunately, most lesions of TM have more than one diagnostic name. Therefore, we built a databa...

With the rapid development of human-machine interfaces, artificial acoustic sensors play an important role in the hearing impaired. Here, an ultrathin eardrum-like triboelectric acoustic sensor (ETAS) is presented consisting of silver-coated nanofibe...
This paper presents a method for automatic segmentation of tympanic membranes (TMs) from video-otoscopic images based on deep fully convolutional neural network. Built upon the UNet architecture, the proposed EAR scheme is based on three main paradig...
