Tethered digital photography with built in Wi-Fi memory cards brings benefits to the environment of an autopsy room
Abstrakt
Forensic pathologists ought to take photographs of all important external and internal findings revealed at autopsy. Tethered photography offers a sophisticated strategy for direct visualization of captured images in an autopsy room, either wired or wirelessly, on larger screens (e.g., smartphones, tablets, monitors).
It involves transmitting captured images from a digital camera to a computer or a mobile device, where the image files are saved to a hard drive and displayed on the device's screen. We present a simple technique for tethered photography suitable for an autopsy room environment based on using memory cards that can create an ad hoc Wi-Fi network to which a preferred screen device can be then connected.
Wireless transfer of image files according to their size showed delays of seconds. The maximum distance between a camera and a selected device for effective transmission of the image files was established as 20 meters.
