Ear imaging system

A computer-implemented method for displaying in a graphical user interface (GUI) real-time information about a tympanic membrane acquired by a vibrometric diagnostic device in an operative position within an ear, the method comprising:

• generating, via a processor, a first image of the tympanic membrane based on the real-time information acquired by the vibrometric diagnostic device;
• displaying, via the processor, the first image in a first area of the GUI displayed on a display connected to a computing device, the computing device being separate from but in communication with the vibrometric diagnostic device;
• displaying, via the processor, a first line overlaid on the first image in the first area of the GUI, the first line corresponding to a selected slice of the first image and the tympanic membrane;
• generating, via the processor, a B-mode image of the tympanic membrane based on the real-time information acquired by the vibrometric diagnostic device, a location of the B-mode image corresponding to the first line;
• displaying, via the processor, the B-mode image in a second area of the GUI;
• and
• displaying, via the processor, a second line and a third line overlaid on the B-mode image in the second area, the second line and the third line corresponding to depth selection indicators illustrating depth selected for imaging in the B-mode image.
