Technical Practice
They use specialized lighting, macro lenses and standardized positioning to produce reproducible images of skin lesions, intraoperative fields and pathology specimens.
Workflow and Governance
Photographers manage image metadata, consent documentation and secure transfer to clinical systems and collaborate with clinicians to meet documentation and publication needs.
Training and Ethics
Training includes photographic technique and clinical protocols; strict adherence to consent, de identification and institutional policies preserves patient privacy and legal compliance.
