title: "Oops, I deleted it"--a solution for recovering deleted or reformatted digital images from memory cards.
abstract: Capturing patient photographs on digital flash cards rather than film has several advantages, but also a few disadvantages. Among the latter, the primary disadvantage is the possibility of accidentally deleting or corruping the files before they are downloaded from the memory card. In this article, we describe utilities that enable image recovery from deleted, reformatted, or physically damaged flash memory cards.
