“…Our own pilot study (pilot study 1) demonstrated 800 x 600 pixel resolution was adequate for diagnosis and grading of urgency of transfer (Jones et al 2004). This concurs with other telemedicine studies of wound assessment (Wirthlin et al 1998;Murphy et al 2006) and dermatology (Eedy & Wootton 2001;Krupinski et al 2008). Resolutions of greater than 1024 x 768 pixels does not appear to benefit the viewer for burn images , whilst limited file compression (JPEG) does not negatively affect confidence or accuracy Roa et al 1999).…”

“…23 The ATA has published guidelines advocating the use of DICOM compliant systems for teledermatology. 24 data definitions that can be used for dermatological images. Development of a specific dermatology metadata model would allow the technical parameter metadata recommended by this guideline to be stored as part of the image.…”

On behalf of the International Society of Digital Imaging of the Skin (ISDIS) for the International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC) D igital photographic documentation is increasingly common in dermatology practice. 1,2 Advances in both photographic and internet technology have improved clinicians' access to high-quality images at relatively low cost. Images are most often archived to monitor skin conditions over time or transmitted between clinicians using store-and-forward methods, enabling wider access to specialist diagnostic and treatment advice. [2][3][4][5][6] Telemedicine services are particularly well suited to dermatology given the skin can be easily viewed and imaged, the majority of cases are nonurgent, and there is high demand for dermatology services in both urban and remote areas 2,7 Digital photography offers additional benefits to traditional methods of assessing and treating a range of skin conditions. The ability to store images enables clinicians to review progress of chronic conditions and responses to treatment, monitor high-risk patients and contribute to ongoing research and education. 1,7 Total body imaging and teledermoscopy methods are increasingly being used for skin cancer monitoring and follow-up, 8,9 but are also useful for long-term monitoring of chronic skin conditions, including psoriasis and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. 3,10 Image Standardization in DermatologyOptimizing the technological aspects of imaging, such as lighting, focus, and magnification, will ensure photographs accurately represent skin conditions. 6,11 Furthermore, paying adequate attention to aspects of photographic technique, including patient positioning, field of view, and camera resolution enables efficient clinical review and the development of image archives for long-term follow-up of patients when patients see multiple clinicians, or move to another state or country.Without standardized and consistent approaches to imaging, clinicians and researchers risk limiting the usefulness of a large and IMPORTANCE Standardizing dermatological imaging is important to improve monitoring of skin lesions and skin conditions, ensure the availability of high-quality images for teledermatology, and contribute to the development of a robust archive of skin images to be used for research.OBJECTIVE To provide guidelines for the clinical application of the Standards for Dermatological Imaging set forward by the ISIC. EVIDENCE REVIEWThe ISIC recommendations were developed through a hybrid Delphi methodology. The methods for achieving consensus have been described previously. The practical application of these recommendations was evaluated by 2 clinical photographers with expertise in skin imaging. Images corresponding to each recommendation were taken by a clinical photographer and provided as visual examples of how these recommendations can be implemented in clinical practice. RESULTSThe Standards for Dermatological Imaging developed by the ISIC members could be followed in the clinical setting. Images showing appropriate ...

Skin problems are common within the nursing home population and could have a significant impact on quality of life. As a form of long-distance consultation teledermatology offers several potential benefits within this frail population. In this review we discuss several aspects of teledermatology, especially in relation to the nursing home population. Several studies demonstrated that teledermatology is a cost-effective and easy-to-use consultation method, which could significantly reduce the amount of hospital visits. However, teledermatology is only used in a limited number of Dutch nursing homes in daily practice due to several factors. For the optimal implementation of teledermatological consultation there are some important logistical, legal and financial framework conditions. In conclusion, teledermatology has a lot to offer within the nursing home population and therefore teledermatology will hopefully be increasingly used in daily practice within the near future.
