[Histonet] Image disclaimer

[Jesus Ellin]

Well this is an interesting topic.  Why would you need a disclaimer for an image.  It is there of esthetics, unless the physician is using it to demonstrate his or hers dx.  Then I would  say you would need to talk to your companies legal Department, but it does raise a flag to me.

Has someone run into an issue by not having a disclaimer or is it just 
to CYA?
