Systems and methods can be employed to access the middle ear through the tympanic membrane for the delivery of therapeutic agents to, for example, the round window niche adjacent to the cochlea under direct visualization. The systems and methods can also be used to improve accessibility and visualization for various otologic procedures, such as, but not limited to, cholesteatoma removal, tympanic membrane repair, and ossicular chain repair.

The embodiment of the invention provides an ossicular chain size measurement method and device, a storage medium and a program product, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining a target mask image in response to a measurement request, and extracting mask images corresponding to three small bones from the target mask image; the three small bones comprise a hammer bone, an incus and a stapes bone; voxels of corresponding small bones are extracted from the mask image, and point cloud data of the small bones are constructed based on voxel coordinates; for any small bone, determining at least one key axis corresponding to the small bone based on the small bone point cloud data, and determining a plurality of key points corresponding to the small bone based on the at least one key axis; and based on the plurality of key points corresponding to the three small bones respectively, determining at least one piece of size data corresponding to the three small bones respectively and a position relationship corresponding to any two small bones. According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the accuracy and efficiency of the size measurement of the ossicular chain are improved.
