Digital photographs of skin conditions in 40 consecutive patients were sent together with relevant clinical information to dermatologists at a university hospital. Two dermatologists separately assessed the MMS referrals. The suspected diagnosis, triage and management decisions were compared to those given after separate face-to-face (FTF) visits, and again after agreeing on a final clinical and\/or histopathological diagnosis. Thirty-two patients (80%) were diagnosed with skin tumours and 8 patients (20%) with other skin conditions. Both dermatologists were able to make a correct diagnosis in 31 patients (78%) based solely on the MMS referral. They also provided adequate management recommendations for 98% of the patients. Adequate triage decisions after assessment of the MMS referrals were made for 34 (85%) and 38 (95%) patients by the two dermatologists. There was an inter-observer concordance of 68% for the teledermatology diagnosis, compared to 88% concordance after the separate FTF visits. The diagnostic accuracy and adequacy of the triage and management decisions achieved using MMS referrals were similar to those obtained with other store-and-forward teledermatology methods. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1258\/jtt.2012.120206","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,28]],"date-time":"2012-07-28T00:06:00Z","timestamp":1343433960000},"page":"292-296","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Use of the mobile phone multimedia messaging service for                teledermatology"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Alexander","family":"B\u00f6rve","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Institute of Clinical Sciences at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Holst","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Primary Health Care, Sahlgrenska School of Public Health, Institute of Medicine at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anette","family":"Gente-Lidholm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Institute of Clinical Sciences at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raquel","family":"Molina-Martinez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Institute of Clinical Sciences at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Paoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Institute of Clinical Sciences at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr-JTT-12-02-006C1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1981.01650100022020"},{"key":"bibr-JTT-12-02-006C2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-0960.2005.00189.x"},{"key":"bibr-JTT-12-02-006C3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.2011.10509.x"},{"key":"bibr-JTT-12-02-006C4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/jtt.2009.009002"},{"key":"bibr-JTT-12-02-006C5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2230.2010.03960.x"},{"key":"bibr-JTT-12-02-006C6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.143.4.479"},{"key":"bibr-JTT-12-02-006C7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2010.08.026"},{"key":"bibr-JTT-12-02-006C8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2009.10.037"},{"key":"bibr-JTT-12-02-006C9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.2011.10208.x"},{"key":"bibr-JTT-12-02-006C10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sder.2009.06.002"},{"key":"bibr-JTT-12-02-006C11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archdermatol.2011.108"},{"key":"bibr-JTT-12-02-006C12","unstructured":"Primary Care Dermatology Society.
