FWIW – For those who are okay with using phones/pads for their photographic
needs**, we use an app called DICOMPASS which is available for IPhone and
Android platforms. It’s a DICOM based system [hence the name] so you can get a
MWL [for those of you who are orders based] and it can send in directly to your
PACS via DICOM C-Store wirelessly over your network [firewall rules
permitting]. We worked with the company [the company is based out of the Czech
Republic] several years ago while working on a project to create a solution for
our Dermatology Dept, which needed body part mapping and a MWL to work from
[it’s encounters based but that’s a while other story].
The DEMO is on the App Store(s) and is free, you might want to play around with
it.
**this is a toughie, I get it. Some of our providers [mostly those with some
kind of photography training] insist on DSLR and their choice of lenses. The
problem we have with that we’ve never found a DSLR system that will work with
encrypted storage chips and thus our security department goes bonkers.

We use for our plastics that travel to satellite office Nikon Coolpix B500.
Works great easy to transfer. And in the less than $300 range.
Good luck,

Jim,
Richard is correct. The attached is what we use at Kellogg and they work very
well in the hands of TRAINED technician.
We also use phones. There is an app for Epic so when you take photos with your
phone the images are uploaded into the Media tab. It’s either Canto or Haiku.
Thanks,
Tim

iPhones are a good thought, except our health system has strict policies
against storing pt images on personal phones. I've never been very happy with
tablet images in general and i find them clunky to work with.
Some macro capability for sure and realistically it would be either on-camera
flash or a dedicated macro flash.
The zoom range is important so that they can get decent macro/mag without
shadowing from whatever flash is used.
Good point on standardizing zoom settings for consistency/distortion. Ease of
adjusting this will be a consideration. Hmmmm...no film box slot on a dSLR to
slip a mag/zoom cheat sheet into!!!
Wonder how many young photographers have looked at a film body and wondered
what it was for?

Thanks All!

Make sure they zoom into a 35mm format equivalent of a 60-80mm lens or they’ll
get fat noses from the default wide angle setting.

Specifically our newest plastics guy would like to be able to grab simple
stuff on the fly. Then upload to the IMS.
Thanks!
