Photographic images of tympanic membranes in routine clinical practice
ENT & Audiology News notes: The ability to capture and record photographic images of tympanic membranes in routine clinical practice has several distinct advantages over hand-drawn representations. Photographs are helpful when explaining unfamiliar concepts to patients and can be a valuable aid when discussing treatment options. Photo documentation is essential for accurately monitoring evolving pathologies, such as tympanic membrane retraction, where subtle changes over time could be easily missed or overlooked when relying on drawings alone. Finally, photographs also provide a precise, contemporaneous record for medico-legal purposes. 1
