Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Consensus guidelines for skin imaging were developed by the International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC) using a Delphi method. These standards aim to improve the quality and consistency of dermatological images for better clinical practice and research.

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Medical Imaging
Standardization

Background:

Variability in skin image acquisition metrics affects image quality and generalizability.
Lack of universal imaging standards hinders dermatology practice and research.
Consensus guidelines are crucial for establishing universal imaging standards.

Purpose of the Study:

To achieve consensus among International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC) members on standards for skin image acquisition metrics.
To establish universal imaging standards in dermatology through a hybrid Delphi method.

Main Methods:

A 5-round hybrid Delphi method was employed for consensus building.
An initial set of statements was developed by a core group and refined through iterative ratings and revisions.
An extended group of ISIC members validated the consensus process through scoring and revisions.

Main Results:

A consensus was reached on 33 recommendations for skin imaging standards.
Key areas covered include lighting, background color, field of view, image orientation, focus, resolution, scale, color calibration, and image storage.
Specific guidelines were established for each of these critical imaging parameters.

Conclusions:

The iterative Delphi process successfully yielded strong consensus on skin imaging standards.
Adoption of these standards is expected to enhance clinical practice, data exchange, and research.
Further testing in real-world clinical settings is recommended to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of these standards.
