Medical Photography
The medical photography division of the department provides digital photography in a variety of settings. During surgery, the medical photographer documents the surgical procedure and technique, pathology, and instrumentation. In addition to the dissemination of the images in electronic presentations, the photographs are enlarged and reproduced in scientific exhibits and journal and textbook publications. Preoperative and postoperative photographs taken of patients also aid research. Because The Hughston Clinic provides orthopaedic care, there are countless requests to scan and capture digital x-rays, computerized tomography, or CT scans, bone scans, and fluoroscopy. The photographer is also available to document sporting events, campus events and meetings, to develop and stage photos required for ad production, magazine covers, newsletters, flyers, and brochures, to document cadaveric dissection in the research lab, and for studio portrait photography.
