Abstract

With the increased use of technology, the use of medical photography has also increased, especially for secondary purposes. Secondary use only results in a benefit for clinicians and is considered a one-way process. This, in turn, raises several potential ethical issues, despite the numerous benefits of medical photography. The descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 82 physicians who took medical photos, in Ankara, Turkey. The mean age of the participants was 44.7 years. Of the participants, 95.1% reported using their personal mobile phones for photographing and 84.1% reported taking medical photos for “use in clinical trainings (clinical seminars, student and patient trainings, etc.)”. Among physicians who took photos for research purposes, 29.3% reported obtaining only verbal consent. In addition, 53.7% of physicians reported storing medical photos on their personal computers. It seems that there is no consensus among physicians regarding taking, storing, and using medical photos, and these results cause ethical problems.

医生拍摄的医学照片的使用和伦理评估
随着技术应用的增多,医学摄影的使用也在增加,尤其是用于辅助目的。二次使用只会给临床医生带来好处,被认为是单向过程。这反过来又引发了一些潜在的伦理问题,尽管医学摄影有很多好处。这项描述性横断面研究在土耳其安卡拉对 82 名拍摄医学照片的医生进行了调查。参与者的平均年龄为 44.7 岁。95.1%的参与者表示使用个人手机拍照,84.1%的参与者表示拍摄医学照片是为了 "用于临床培训(临床研讨会、学生和患者培训等)"。在为研究目的拍摄照片的医生中,有 29.3% 表示只获得了口头同意。此外,53.7% 的医生称他们将医学照片存储在个人电脑中。看来,医生们在拍摄、存储和使用医学照片方面没有达成共识,这些结果造成了伦理问题。
