This month’s selection of presentations: World Congress of Teledermatology, AI in Skin Diseases and Skin Imaging (2020, 8th edition)

Clinical Photography in Dermatology (LINK)

  • Presentation by Dr Paola Pasquali, MD
  • There are difference in taking pictures pre-pandemic and post Covid. Also mobile technology makes pictures easier to take.
  • This creates challenges as pictures are no longer taken by primary care physicians, but by patients and everyone else.
  • Practical advice will be given in this presentation in addition to insights anyone will identify with.

DICOM Standard for Imaging Data (LINK)

  • Presentation by Prof Liam Caffery, PhD
  • It stands for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine
  • This presentation will be of value to specialists interested in Data standardization in Dermatology and Doctors and researchers interest in AI in Dermatology and Health data.
  • DICOM is the standard when it comes to imaging and was used in radiology. It is now making its way to Dermatology and Ophthalmology.
  • It is use in standardization of:
    • metadata
    • file format
    • network service
    • workflow services
    • display callibration

Again standardization is key to sharing of data in health which is otherwise particularly siloed.
