The following article presents a computational methodology to assist the assessment of tympanic pathologies, particularly chronic otitis media, based on digital otoscopic images. A computational system which implements the methodology is described. This approach does not impose additional effort to the acquisition protocol and diagnosis of tympanic pathologies. In preliminary tests, it has shown precision and easiness of use. The presented methodology and system were tested by the Otitis Media Center of Brazil (Com.Br) with a case base of 660 patients, resulting in 1320 bilateral tympanic images.
