Shortwave infrared otoscopy for diagnosis of middle ear effusions: a machine-learning-based approach
Abstract Otitis media, a common disease marked by the presence of fluid within the middle ear space, imparts a significant global health and economic burden. Identifying an effusion through the tympanic membrane is critical to diagnostic success but remains challenging due to the inherent limitation...
