Testing and Imaging

核心：测试/成像 核心B，“测试/成像”将监督各种测试仪器、现场测试 新开发的ETF/成像协议，并执行项目1至4要求的所有测试。具体 核心B的目的是：1）构建和仪器化压力室，用于在具有完整耳的耳中测试ETF。 鼓膜; 2）评价使用压力室获得的ETF测试结果的可比性 以及使用我们的标准测试方法获得的结果; 3）执行所有要求的ETF测试和成像研究 项目1-4; 4）保持所有测试仪器处于良好的工作状态; 5）保持校准记录， 向项目调查人员提供所有仪器和数据报告的质量保证文件; 6）协助 研究者在解释测试结果和设计补充测试/成像协议，以及7）互动 与项目1和核心C的PI关于测试结果和模型模拟之间的反馈。超过 在5年的研究期内，核心B的预期工作量分布约为核心C的10%，项目1的20%， 20%项目2，20%项目3和30%项目4。

COREB: TESTING/IMAGING Core B, "Testing/Imaging" will oversee the construction and servicing of the various test instruments, field test newly developed ETF/imaging protocols and perform all testing required by Projects 1 through 4. The specific aims of Core B are to: 1) construct and instrument a pressure-chamber for testing ETF in ears with intact tympanic membranes; 2) evaluate the comparability of ETF test results obtained using the pressure-chamber and those obtained using our standard test methodologies; 3) perform all ETF tests and imaging studies required by Projects 1-4; 4) maintain all testing instruments in good working condition; 5) maintain calibration records on all instruments and quality assurance documentation for data reports to the Project investigators; 6) assist the investigators in interpreting test results and in designing supplemental testing/imaging protocols, and 7) interact with the Pis of Project 1 and Core C with respect to feedback between test results and model simulations. Over the 5-year study period, the anticipated effort distribution of Core B is approximately 10% Core C, 20% Project 1, 20% Project 2, 20% Project 3 and 30% Project 4.
