• Direct catheterisation of the Eustachian tube is technically feasible. • The entire Eustachian tube could be well visualised by direct Eustachian tubography. • Subtraction Eustachian tubography images have better image quality than native images. • Subtraction Eustachian tubography can provide objective assessment of ET function and anatomy.
