Digital Photography Made Easy For Cosmetic Surgeons
Journal Title: Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research (BJSTR) - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The use of photography for medical documentation is vital [1]. Hair restoration procedures are among those which require a proper, up-todate documentation of the pre-operative and post-operative results because of various reasons. The time to see the result spans over months and the ongoing hair loss process makes it even more necessary to maintain a proper photographic record, the photo documentation is an integral part in clinical, communications, educational, legal and research aid. The non-standardized photographs diminish the significance of the clinical result [2]. The modern day digital cameras have become the cameras of choice for amateur and professional photographers. These can produce outstanding photographs with good details. There are various good camera manufacturing companies (like Sony, Nikon, Canon) which manufacturers SLR or DSLR cameras. There are certain details which the hair restorative surgeon should be aware of. The include the ISO, focal length, aperture, shutter speed etc. these can be set to ‘automatic’ mode or ‘manual’ mode. Lighting is one of the most important factors while taking a photograph. A photograph taken with a good light at a proper distance produces the best result. There are various articles which mention the standardization of the photographs [3-5]. The author in the present article presents his personal modifications which are not very costly and can produce the wonderful photographs [6]. Normally the cameras with ‘gridline’ options are costly. These gridlines can be made by marking ‘one’ vertical line and ‘one’ horizontal line on a cellophane tape /adhesive paper with a permanent marker (Figure 1). It can be fixed on the viewing screen of the digital camera [7]. The lines are taken in consideration while taking the photographs to maintain the proper position, angle, view [7].
