Different UV light set\u2010ups are used for vitiligo photography, including the following: (i) hand\u2010held Wood\u2019s lamps; (ii) soft boxes with UV lamps; (iii) UV flash attached to the camera; and (iv) high output UV flash.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our objective was to compare UV light set\u2010ups for vitiligo photography regarding image quality and ease of use.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients with vitiligo lesions with unclear borders were included. Two images were made with all four UV set\u2010ups per patient, for a large and a small area. Image quality was scored separately by three blinded vitiligo experts on five criteria: overall quality, clearness of borders, contrast and sharpness and for larger areas the shadows. The two professional medical photographers were asked to score the ease of use for each set\u2010up.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 88 photos were assessed from 11 patients. For larger areas, the frequency of a \u2018good\u2019 or \u2018very good\u2019 overall quality rating was 12.1% (Wood\u2019s), 6.1% (soft boxes), 15.2% (camera flash) and 78.8% (high output flash). For smaller areas, the score \u2018good\u2019 or \u2018very good\u2019 was given to 54.5%, 3%, 66.6% and 84.8% in the same order. For the shadow criteria, each set\u2010up scored below 40% on a 'good' or 'very good' score. The high output flash was scored as most easy to use by the photographers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>When comparing four different UV light set\u2010ups for vitiligo photography, we concluded that the UV set\u2010ups strongly influenced the quality scores of the obtained images. The high output flash scored best for both small and large areas and for ease of use. For small areas, Wood\u2019s lamp and camera flash were acceptable. All set\u2010ups scored badly for shadows, and more research is needed to find the optimal exposure to avoid shadows.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jdv.15666","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,11]],"date-time":"2019-05-11T13:22:36Z","timestamp":1557580956000},"page":"1971-1975","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["UV light set\u2010ups for vitiligo photography, a comparative study on image quality and ease of use"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"S.E.","family":"Uitentuis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Netherlands Institute for Pigment Disorders Amsterdam University Medical Centers Amsterdam The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.W.","family":"Bekkenk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Netherlands Institute for Pigment Disorders Amsterdam University Medical Centers Amsterdam The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"van Geel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Ghent University Hospital Ghent Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.A.","family":"de Rie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Netherlands Institute for Pigment Disorders Amsterdam University Medical Centers Amsterdam The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Wolkerstorfer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Netherlands Institute for Pigment Disorders Amsterdam University Medical Centers Amsterdam The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2015.07.039"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2009.03.022"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0749.2006.00355.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-4362.1999.00794.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Reference method for digital surface measurement of target lesions in vitiligo: a comparative analysis","author":"Geel N","year":"2018","journal-title":"Br J Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jid.2015.12.040"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.140.6.677"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamadermatol.2017.6401"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamadermatol.2017.5795"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2017.11.032"}],"container-title":["Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fjdv.15666","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/jdv.15666","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1111\/jdv.15666","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/jdv.15666","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,5]],"date-time":"2023-09-05T15:42:34Z","timestamp":1693928554000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/jdv.15666"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,25]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"10","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/jdv.15666"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/jdv.15666","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0926-9959","1468-3083"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0926-9959","type":"print"},{"value":"1468-3083","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,25]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2018-11-19","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2019-04-12","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2019-06-25","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
