How the HCB dermatological imaging diagnosis works
Thanks to technology, with the help of health personnel from HCB Hospitals and the online Dermatology team, patients who need it will be able to receive almost immediate attention for their dermatological problems with a solution in 48 hours (business).
“We should not confuse this type of diagnostic imaging service with an online consultation via videoconference. There is no direct consultation with the dermatologist, but the human factor does not disappear. Our specialized health personnel always accompanies the patient”, explained the Medical Director of HCB Hospitales, the Dr. Fernando Sanchez Ruano.
In the new Dermatological Diagnostic Imaging Service at HCB Hospitales, patients are cared for at all times by health personnel specifically trained for this dermatological consultation.
It is your staff who carry out an exhaustive questionnaire and anamnesis to the patient; take images of the injury or injuries with a high-resolution camera; and takes dermoscopic images with a state-of-the-art dermatoscope that allows specialists to see the lesion or lesions very precisely.
All patient information is uploaded to a secure platform (in compliance with GDPR regulations on medical information) that is accessed by the Dermatology team assigned to HCB Hospitales. They value all the information and the image samples taken and in 48 hours they facilitate their diagnosis, treatment and advice to follow.
Very fast dermatological diagnoses and treatments

In a maximum of 48 hours, the patient receives an answer to his problem", highlighted the Dr. Sanchez Ruano.
