Cooperative Agreement for In Vivo High-Resolution Imaging for Inner Ear Visualization
Funds high-risk clinical trials of new ways to see inside the living human inner ear. A trial is compulsory, and NIH stays in the room.
Nobody can see inside a living human inner ear in any detail. The structures that matter — hair cells, otoliths, membranes, the vasculature, even ion movement — sit encased in bone, and imaging them in a person who is awake is beyond what current techniques manage.
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders funds work to change that: improving the resolution of existing …
In vivo high-resolution structural and functional imaging of the living human inner ear — improving the resolution of existing techniques or developing new ones to visualise structures such as hair cells, otoliths, membranes, ions and vasculature, including dynamic elements, and developing imaging probes or contrast agents that enhance that visualisation. This version supports high-risk clinical trials of those technologies.
