War Photography in Medicine

Matko Marušić

Abstract

Photography is a well known form of art but also a document providing information.
In relation to war, its importance as a document and information is
crucial in medicine. This is true for photographs from all areas of medicine,
from those of refugee camps, which provoke emotional reaction, to microscopic
images, which are not comprehensible to the layman. Medical war
photography is thus even more remote from illustration and art and becomes
crucial for medical action and for providing help to the individuals and population.
