The design and construction of an interactive website concerning biomedical photography

Pages 54-59 | Published online: 10 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

The purpose of this communication is to make readers aware of what the authors believe is an important online resource about medical and scientific photography for doctors, scientists and students. It is a website freely accessible and its URL is http://msp.rmit.edu.au. The site is designed as a resource base: it is not meant to be a 'course' but the reader will find much practical information about technique and applications of scientific imaging methods. The site is currently a comprehensive collection of resources relating to invisible radiation photography but there are plans to expand the site to a range of clinical recording topics, and other potential contributors are asked to join the project. It contains a vast collection of photographs from many photographers as well as graphs, diagrams, tables and references. This paper also discusses some of the important issues surrounding the 'publication' of such a site such as currency and access versus credibility; technological obsolescence, site design and usage.
