Abstract
Iconodiagnosis consists of a retrospective medical diagnosis carried out on a work of art depicting a human person. For a hundred years, physicians have embarked on this practice, making it possible to supplement epidemiological data on the existence of diseases in ancient periods or past populations, but also to train physicians in their clinical and semiological sense. Faced with the exponential increase in publications in this field, it was necessary to propose clear rules and a precise and rigorous methodology allowing a serious practice of iconodiagnosis.
期刊介绍:
This review aims to compare approaches to medical ethics and bioethics in two forms, Anglo-Saxon (Ethics, Medicine and Public Health) and French (Ethique, Médecine et Politiques Publiques). Thus, in their native languages, the authors will present research on the legitimacy of the practice and appreciation of the consequences of acts towards patients as compared to the limits acceptable by the community, as illustrated by the democratic debate.
