Medical visual documentation is a concept of taking medical still images called as photographs and recording medical movies obtained in clinics, outpatient clinics, and operating theaters that are used in many branches of medicine. Medical photography is the main branch of medical visual documentation. The concept of medical photography requires three basic elements in terms of achieving good-quality and appropriate medical images. Those are basic photography knowledge in medical photography, features of the medical subject (object), and medical sensitivities and ethical-legal issues. Today breast cancer is also an important mortality cause in women. So, breast surgery plays a great role in medicine. For successful surgical practices, education, and treatment of breast surgery, standardized, high-quality medical photographs have become an essential component of success. Medical photography in breast surgery can be discussed in three subgroups according to the purpose of the photographs as clinical photography, intraoperative photography, specimen photography, and photography for radiological images. Because of the great importance of medical photography in medicine, the main steps of taking high-quality photographs in breast cancer management are discussed in this chapter, and the main clues are given.
