ABSTRACT
Background: The 35 mm camera has been used in various medical fields. With development of computer technology, digital camera is replacing the 35 mm camera because it has more merits than 35 mm camera. We made the attachable adapter (to digital camera) to use in the medical photography. Materials: We use digital camera, adapter attached to digital camera and endoscope. Result and Discussion: We take photos of tympanic membrane, nasal cavity, larynx, and oral cavity using digital camera. Use of digital camera greatly enhanced the efficiency of our practice. The advantages and disadventages of digital camera are discussed. Conclusion: The digital camera is now replacing the role of 35 mm camera in the otolaryngologic department as well as other medical field because of it’s merits.
