Medical photography using mobile devices

Abstract

What you need to know
\n
\nCovid-19 has accelerated the use of medical photography, with many specialist services requesting it as part of the referral process
\n
\nPoor quality images may lead to misinterpretation and a delay in diagnosis or treatment, but training in medical photography for clinicians and patients is limited
\n
\nWays to improve the quality of images captured with mobile devices include taking both overview and close-up images, increasing light, and holding devices at an appropriate distance from the subject.
