Researchers have developed a novel deep learning model, termed 2D-OCT-UNET, to quantify fibrosis within cochlear implants. This model, based on a modified U-Net architecture, analyzes optical coherence tomography (OCT) images to identify and measure fibrotic tissue, which can impede hearing function. The study successfully applied computer vision techniques to OCT data from implanted guinea pigs, demonstrating reliable calculation of cochlear fibrotic burden and offering a new tool for improving outcomes for cochlear implant patients.
