The most common reason for undertaking clinical photography is to provide a record of the natural course of a condition, or to document the effect of treatment on that condition. Photographs are normally taken for the patients’ case record but may also be used for teaching, research, publication, or for medico-legal purposes.
The essence of good clinical photography lies in standardized and repeated views over a period of time, from which objective comparisons can be made. This is achieved by careful control of lighting, scale, viewpoint and background, the photographic technique and all aspects of post-production.
Our medical photography unit accepts patients referred from outpatient department and laser unit from Sunday to Thursday.
