This study aims to develop an imaging system to enhance the visibility of cholesteatoma tissue during surgery. The researchers found that cholesteatoma tissue fluoresced under 405 and 450 nm illumination, while mucosa tissue did not. A prototype fluorescence imaging system was built to accurately measure cholesteatoma tissue autofluorescence.
Significance: Cholesteatoma is an expansile destructive lesion of the middle ear and mastoid, which can result in significant complications by eroding adjacent bony structures. Currently, there is an inability to accurately distinguish cholesteatoma tissue margins from middle ear mucosa tissue, causing a high recidivism rate. Accurately differentiating cholesteatoma and mucosa will enable a more complete removal of the tissue. Aim: Develop an imaging system to enhance the visibility of cholesteatoma tissue and margins during surgery. Approach: Cholesteatoma and mucosa tissue samples were excised from the inner ear of patients and illuminated with 405, 450, and 520 nm narrowband lights. Measurements were made with a spectroradiometer equipped with a series of different longpass filters. Images were obtained using a red-green-blue (RGB) digital camera equipped with a long pass filter to block reflected light. Results: Cholesteatoma tissue fluoresced under 405 and 450 nm illumination. Middle ear mucosa tissue did not fluoresce under the same illumination and measurement conditions. All measurements were negligible under 520 nm illumination conditions. All spectroradiometric measurements of cholesteatoma tissue fluorescence can be predicted by a linear combination of emissions from keratin and flavin adenine dinucleotide. We built a prototype of a fluorescence imaging system using a 495 nm longpass filter in combination with an RGB camera. The system was used to capture calibrated digital camera images of cholesteatoma and mucosa tissue samples. The results confirm that cholesteatoma emits light when it is illuminated with 405 and 450 nm, whereas mucosa tissue does not. Conclusions: We prototyped an imaging system that is capable of measuring cholesteatoma tissue autofluorescence. (c) The Authors.
