title: Use of computer graphic images in teaching dermatology.
abstract: A microcomputer-based system for copying, storing, retrieving, and displaying color still images was assembled from commercially available components. The system was tested against 35-mm color photographic transparencies by measuring the performance of 91 medical students in a task of identifying the primary morphology of eight skin lesion images from the displayed images. There was no significant difference in the students' performance between the two display media.
