PhotoniCare’s TOMi™ uses Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), an advanced light-based technology to see through the eardrum. For the first time, physicians can view a high-resolution depth image on-screen to learn what’s going on in the middle ear. Before TOMi™, care providers were using standard otoscopes and had to make subjective diagnoses based largely on the appearance of the eardrum. Now TOMi™ provides a non-invasive method to ascertain the contents of the middle ear, a key determinant when considering an infection diagnosis such as AOM.
