Refractive and reflective image distortion during lower tract endoscopy--a potential cause of misdiagnosis.

abstract：PURPOSE:Telemedicine has become a common method for the transmission of images and patient data across long distances. Our goal was to assess the efficiency and accuracy of Photomailer MD software, a store-and-forward telemedicine system, in the urologic setting. METHODS:Photomailer MD software was loaded on two compu...
