Abstract: "Teledermatology: A User's Guide provides practical information for those individuals planning to implement a teledermatology program or expand their current use of teledermatology. It explores the technical aspects of teledermatology and describes the differences between live interactive techniques and store-and-forward techniques. Many of the chapter authors are among the world's experts in teledermatology and have developed successful and viable teledermatology programs. The knowledge presented here is based on the lessons they have learned in the course of teledermatology development." --Book Jacket.
