Digital cameras have been used for clinical photography in the Medical Illustration Department at Great Ormond Street Hospital NHS Trust for eight years. In that time methods have evolved to take advantage of both technological advances and experiences gained in operating a routine digital photographic service. The management of a large number of digital images requires assiduous attention to all stages of production. Current techniques are described for: controlling quality and exposure in the acquisition of images with a digital camera; temporary and permanent storage, backing up and archiving procedures; and cataloguing of clinical images. Planning for network delivery, the Electronic Patient Record and the management of images in teaching collections are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
