“…14 In surgery, it has been particularly valuable in facilitating trauma treatment and resuscitation from remote sites. 15,16 Photographs have been used in medicine for illustration and documentation purposes for over 100 years. The 35-mm slide has long been the gold standard of medical photography.…”

The ability to accurately evaluate a wound on the basis of a digital image is possible. However, it requires training of participants and is facilitated by use of an assessment tool. With these caveats, evaluation of wounds using digital images is equivalent to bedside examination. This technology can improve practice efficiency, provide needed expertise at remote sites, and is an acceptable alternative method of wound assessment.

“…Illustrative documentation of dermatological conditions has been an established practice in dermatology throughout the centuries. This began with wood engravings, multicoloured copper engravings and hand illustrations, progressing to chromolithographic prints from wax moulages, photogravures and for most of the 20th century, celluloid photography 2 . Further innovations in photographic techniques, along with the recent development of digital imaging technology, have greatly improved the ability to create and record images of skin that can be used for a wide variety of purposes, in some cases enhancing the information that is derived from naked‐eye inspection.…”

Since the discovery of X-rays, the use of imaging technology has continued to play an important role in medicine. Technological advancements have led to the development of various imaging modalities, most of which have been used to image organs deep within the human body. More recently, attention has focused on the application of imaging technology for evaluation of the skin. A variety of techniques are currently being used to examine the skin and these include specialized photography, surface microscopy, ultrasound, laser Doppler perfusion imaging, confocal microscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging. These modalities can provide information that can assist in the management of skin problems. Although many of these techniques are still undergoing research, they are showing promise as useful clinical tools in dermatology.

“…Neuse and Wilfried 12 provided an excellent historical survey of these compelling transitions, beginning with Donne's first medical daguerreotype. This first application was followed by other changes in technology, such as the creation of the hand‐colored photographs of the late 19th century ( Fig.…”
