In plastic surgery, patient photography is a vital component of clinical, educational, legal, and research documentation. Optimal acquisition of photographic data requires a dedicated photography studio or a three-dimensional anatomic scanner, both of which are financially impractical for most clinicians. Simplified photo standardization is proposed for use in random clinical settings by using ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Retinal photography with a non-mydriatic camera is the method currently employed for diabetic retinography (DR) screening. We designed this study in order to evaluate the prevalence and severity of DR, and associated risk factors, in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) screened in Catalan Primary Health Care. METHODS Retrospective, cross-sectional, population based study perf...

background : improvement of facial beauty is a major reason why patients with dentofacial problems opt for orthognathic surgery. people are eventually judged by their facial appearance by themselves, their friends & family and even surgeons. with the recent developments in technology, we now have a 3d structure that can build and analyze 3d images before & after surgery and review the extent of...

Digital photography as a non-invasive, simple, objective, reproducible, and practical imaging modality has been investigated for the wound healing assessment over the last three decades, and now has been widely used in clinical daily routine. Advances in the field of image analysis and computational intelligence techniques along with the improvements in digital camera instrumentation, expand th...

Objective To assess the reliability and variability of digital calipers, 3D photography, high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) for measurement cutaneous neurofibromas (cNF) in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Background cNF affect virtually all NF1 are a major source morbidity. Reliable techniques measuring needed to develop therapies these tumors. Methods Adults were recruited. For eac...
