telemedicine, dermoscopy, triage, photographyAbstract
Dermatology is a very visual specialty that is suitable for telemedicine care since it is based on visual images easily photographed. The telemedicine care model offers advantages for the assessment of patients in remote areas without access to the specialist. Thus, we wanted to evaluate if it is a reliable modality for the diagnosis of tumor lesions in our geographical area.
