Abstract

The aim of photography in digestive endoscopy is to obtain adequate, relevant, and quality endoscopy pictures in order to record diagnosis and therapeutic findings. Photo documentation and video recording are mandatory for the following purposes: to provide a complete case record; as a quality measure of complete examination; to facilitate communication; as a useful teaching resource; and in some case to protect physician in medicolegal issue. Endoscopy is a procedure that allows the inspection of internal hollow organs. Gastrointestinal endoscopy is the examination of GI tract witch is performed for diagnosis and therapeutic purpose. In this chapter we describe the technical evolution of both digestive endoscopy and medical photography during the last 70 years, coming from fiberscopes to high-resolution endoscopes and from argentic photography to digital pictures. Nowadays photography is an integral part of digestive endoscopy in clinical practice.
