Digital Otoscopy With Computer-Aided Composite Image Generation: Impact on the Correct Diagnosis, Confidence, and Time.

Objective: This study investigated the comparative performance of ear, nose, and throat (ENT) physicians in correctly detecting ear abnormalities when reviewing digital otoscopy imaging using 3 different visualization methods, including computer-assisted composite images called "SelectStitch," single video frame "Still" images, and video clips. The study also explored clinicians' diagnostic confidence levels and the time to make a diagnosis.

Study Design: Clinician diagnostic reader study.
