A portable digital imaging system in dermatology: diagnostic and educational applications

C C Lyon and P V Harrison

Digital photographs were taken by a trainee dermatologist of the presenting lesions of 100 unselected, consecutive new patients. For the 38 patients presenting with rashes there was clinical disagreement in only four cases 10 . For the 62 patients with tumours there was clinical disagreement in three cases 3.8 . In a further three cases both clinicians agreed on a differential diagnosis which was subsequently disproved by histological findings and clinical progress. The study demonstrated that an affordable, low-resolution, fixed-focus digital camera with close-up lenses could provide diagnostically useful images suitable for telediagnosis in dermatology.
