  • The future of early disease detection? Applications of electronic nose technology in otolaryngology

  • N Charaklias, H Raja, M L Humphreys, N Magan, C A Kendall
  • Journal:
    The Journal of Laryngology & Otology / Volume 124 / Issue 8 / August 2010
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    02 June 2010, pp. 823-827

  • Introduction:

    Recent advances in electronic nose technology, and successful clinical applications, are facilitating the development of new methods for rapid, bedside diagnosis of disease. There is a real clinical need for such new diagnostic tools in otolaryngology.

    Materials and methods:

    We present a critical review of recent advances in electronic nose technology and current applications in otolaryngology.

    Results:

    The literature reports evidence of accurate diagnosis of common otolaryngological conditions such as sinusitis (acute and chronic), chronic suppurative otitis media, otitis externa and nasal vestibulitis. A significant recent development is the successful identification of biofilm-producing versus non-biofilm-producing pseudomonas and staphylococcus species.

    Conclusion:

    Electronic nose technology holds significant potential for enabling rapid, non-invasive, bedside diagnosis of otolaryngological disease.
