Buckingham Virtual Tympanum

Richard A Buckingham, Professor Emeritus of Otolaryngology at the University of Illinois-Chicago painstakingly photographed thousands of eardrums throughout his career. He and his wife, Mary Grace, have generously donated these images to the Buckingham Virtual Tympanum.

This app was developed in the hopes of making the dark, inaccessible tympanic membrane and its landmarks clear to medical students and residents.
