OBJECTIVE To compare off-the-shelf digital imaging equipment with a standard single lens reflex 35-mm endoscopic camera in a busy pediatric ears, nose, and throat setting. DESIGN Two digital cameras with an endoscope adapter and a step-down ring were evaluated to obtain optimal settings for digital endoscopic photography. The equipment was used in various clinical and surgical settings to inc...

Digital photography has virtually replaced conventional film photography as far as clinical imaging is concerned. Though most dermatologists are familiar with digital cameras, there is room for improvement in the quality of clinical images. We aim to give an overview of the basics of digital photography in relation to dermatology, which would be useful to a dermatologist in his or her future cl...

The use of digital versus film photography has been a topic of debate since the invention of digital cameras towards the end of the 20th Century. Both digital and film photography have advantages and drawbacks. Twenty-first century photography is dominated by digital operation, but the older photochemical methods continue to serve many users and applications. Please join us for this 4th present...

Aerial photogrammetry is one of the main methods obtaining geospatial information. After entering the 21st century, aerial photogrammetry technology has fully entered the digital age, and the quality of digital aerial photography results will directly affect the quality and accuracy of results of surveying and mapping .Therefore, it is necessary to inspect the quality of digital aerial photogra...

As digital photography rapidly replacing the traditional film photography as the photography of choice for all but a few devoted professionals, post image processing of natural color photos such as denoising becomes increasingly an integral part of digital photography. Although many denoising schemes have been designed, almost none specifically target natural color photos. Noise in natural colo...

In our original article evaluating symmetry in breast reconstruction, we evaluated the role of three-dimensional digital photography.1 Women were stratified into two groups, those who had three-dimensional photography and those who did not. Comparisons included initial volume and contour symmetry, secondary procedures, and final volume and contour symmetry. It was concluded that three-dimension...

Roots of Digital Techniques and Functions in Traditional Film Photography Photography is the result of combining several technical discoveries. Chinese philosopher Mo Di and Greek mathematicians Aristotle and Euclid described a pinhole camera in the 5th and 4th centuries BCE. From rudimentary forms like the pinhole camera and the camera obscura, Film and print photography has transformed with t...

A brief history of digital photography is provided along with a critical appraisal of the 'prosumer' and professional systems currently available. Recommendations are made as to the system best suited to current orthodontic practice.
