A Review Of Oculoplastic Photography: A Guide For Clinician Photographers

Abstract

Clinical photography in the field of oculoplastic surgery has many applications. It is possible for clinicians to obtain standardized clinical photographs without a studio. A clinician photographer has the advantage of knowing exactly what to photograph as well as having immediate access to the images. In order to maintain standardization in the photographs, the photographic settings should remain constant. This article covers essential photographic equipment, camera settings, patient pose, and digital asset management.

Photodocumentation in oculoplastic surgery: an up-to-date overview

“…The included articles showed some common aspects: 10 of 19 articles (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) suggested the use of a telelens (60-110 mm), and only 3 of them described the working distance (5,6,8) . Background might vary between blue, white, black, and gray tones; however, in more than half of the included articles, the blue background was cited as preferential or alternative (1)(2)(3)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13) .…”

Most of the articles (1)(2)(3)6,7,9,10,(13)(14)(15) have suggested illumination with studio lights, four suggested speedlight only (ring flash and dedicated TTL flashes (5,11) or unspecified speedlight (16) ), and two (17,18) did not mention the illumination source. Only four articles mentioned the three parameters used: ISO, aperture, and shutter speed (3)(4)(5)8) .…”

Estudo comparativo entre imagens de câmera fotográfica convencional e smartphone para o telediagnóstico de tumores palpebrais.

“…Several authors consider cameras with large image sensors (≥22.3mm x 14.9mm), which produce better quality images, as fundamental requirements for obtaining medical photography 1,3 .…”

Smartphone no telediagnóstico de tumores palpebrais: estudo de acurácia

“…31 O equipamento básico e as condições para uma fotodocumentação médica facial/palpebral são compostos: uma câmera com lente apropriada, iluminação e espaço adequado. Não é propósito desta revisão o detalhamento de funcionamento e os princípios de fotografia, apenas serão descritos os aspectos que julgamos importantes para o desempenho do presente trabalho.Requisitos fundamentais para obtenção de fotografia médica:28,32 1. Câmera com Sensor de imagem grande igual aos acima de 22,3 mm x 14,9 mm (Canon por exemplo) que produz uma qualidade melhor de imagem.2.…”
