Eighty-eight lesions of 77 patients were examined by digital image and clinic-based consultation by one dermatologist. The reliability and accuracy of the dermatologist's diagnoses and the reliability of the management recommendations were compared.RESULTS:
The concordance of diagnosis between telemedicine and clinic-based consultation showed high levels(complete agreement, 92.05%; complete + partial agreement, 97.73%). The agreement on management recommendations was variable. The diagnostic confidence and the image quality affected the agreement.CONCLUSION:
