High-quality clinical photography has become an integral part of dermatology in the context of patient evaluation and monitoring, clinical teaching, and research. Technological advancements in smartphones have allowed dermatologists to incorporate photography in workflows; however, acquiring quality photos poses its own challenges. Outlining a best practice approach to image capture prior to biopsy will facilitate establishing a team-based approach for the implementation of clinical photography in workflow. We propose this guide with the intent of improving patient care though photography in the clinical setting and the goal of integrating high-quality photography into routine clinical practice.
高质量的临床摄影已经成为皮肤科患者评估和监测、临床教学和研究的一个组成部分。智能手机技术的进步使得皮肤科医生能够将摄影纳入工作流程；然而，获取高质量的照片也带来了自身的挑战。在活检前概述最佳的图像采集方法，将有助于为在工作流程中实施临床摄影建立基于团队的方法。我们提出本指南，旨在通过临床环境中的摄影改善患者护理，并将高质量摄影融入常规临床实践。
