The Concept of Medical Images Within Pandemic and Disease Outbreaks

Over the past few decades, photography has evolved in several ways, and today, there are different forms of photography. One of the most common forms of photography that you'll find today is medical photography that is primarily used in recording accurate and detailed images aimed at providing sufficient assistance to clinicians and other healthy care providers in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients' disease conditions and treatment progress.

Medical photography is mostly applied in producing images that are used for different purposes, amongst which include research and teaching purposes. In simpler terms, medical images are basically documentation that are used in the field of medicine solely for presenting medical cases and other similar issues. The images basically help in providing sufficient information to clarity issues with different patients. This is a key thing for medicine, and healthcare practitioners, mainly because disease conditions are constantly changes leading to several diseases and pandemic outbreaks. However, the images help to provide more clarity on different disease conditions and health issues, as well as serve as a reference for medical practitioners to use in diagnosing these disease conditions.

One thing to note about medical images is that you don't only need a camera to take these images. There are different devices that can be used in taking medical images, among which include telescopes which are mostly used for tiny substances that cannot be seen with the naked eyes. This includes cells and bacteria particles. Basically, these images are very important in any healthcare setting because it is time-saving and also help to communicate key information between healthcare providers.

Anybody that views a medical image will be able to easily identify what is wrong with the person, and this is the first step towards handling any disease outbreak or medical condition. A great medical image should be a perfect representation of the medical condition to make it a lot easier for the health professional to identify the information contained in the image.

Are you wondering the exact time medical photography started? What you should know is that medical photography has been around for a very long time now, and medical images have been widely used right from the early 1800s. One of the first people to take medical photos was Alfred Francois Donne, who created his first micrograph in the 1840s. Also, he went further to create a micrograph atlas containing several medical specimens. The first disease that he successfully captured was leukemia, in addition to other organisms that he discovered.

Since then, medical photography has advanced in many ways, and today, it's easy to find medical images all around, and not only in the medical field or in a medical setting.

What are Involved in Medical Images?

One important thing about medical images is not only the fact that they are widely used in medicine today but also because most of the medical fields rely solely on these images. For example, medical fields like dermatology rely primarily on medical photos, and it's a really handy tool for diagnosis. Regardless of the field of medicine that uses medical images or how these medical images are utilized, it's important to understand what's involved in medical in medical photos to be able to provide high.

Here are the key things that are involved in medical photos:

    1. 1. Lighting

For medical images to deliver the information contained in them, they need to be bright enough, and this can only be possible with sufficient lighting in the images. However, while it's generally important for these images to be bright enough, it's equally important that they are not overly bright. This is because it can easily wash out the original colour of the image.

If possible, it's generally best to take all your medical photos in diffuse or natural sunlight. In the absence of natural light, you can opt for other light sources, but ensure that these sources are close to white. The general recommendation is to use full spectrum or fluorescent bulbs.

    1. 2. Background

The background is also important for medical photos, and it can alter the general tone of the images. For the tone of these images to be maintained, it's recommended to stick to using non-reflective or solid surfaces. You might stick to blue or green colours, but ensure it covers the entire frame of the picture.

Another recommendation is to use sheets, pillowcases, or sterile towels for consistency. Also try to avoid elements that can easily distract attention from the actual information contained in the image. These elements include hair, gloves, cotton swabs, paper towels, Jewellery, and clothing.
