Optical Coherence Tomography Guided Laser Cochleostomy: Towards the Accuracy on Tens of Micrometer Scale
Figure 3
Feasibility study: (a) an OCT image of a fresh porcine cochlea with a laser-ablated crater on the surface (arrow). The interface between the bony shell of the cochlea, endosteum, and the perilymph-filled scala is clearly visible; ((b)-(c)) the corresponding histology under (b) 4x and (c) 10x magnification.
