Irregularities on a patient's body part, particularly an ear, are identified on an image 118 of the ear taken by a camera 102 and are recorded on a representative diagram 116 of an ear displayed adjacent to the image. The images are manipulated by a computer 110 and displayed on a screen 112. Points or regions may be recorded on the diagram using an input device such as a stylus 114 in conjunction with a touch screen, a mouse or a keyboard 124; and the type of irregularity may be selected from a menu 122. The resulting data can be input into an algorithm to identify a particular course of acupuncture treatment. Also disclosed is a similar system for recording damage to hire cars (figure 10), including a gantry (900, figure 11) on which are mounted several cameras to gain photographs of the car from the front, rear and sides.
