Ultrasound images should be copyrighted

[edit]

Despite licensing, ultrasound images like this would be copyrighted.

It's not only in judge this image group. ≈ 2000 images could be deleted if "medical diagnostic images" are not accepted.

This numbers are aproximated:

 Comment Quite a few, if not most, of these images either come from freely licensed medical publications or other external sources (whom we can assume to have obtained the necessary permissions) or have been uploaded to Commons by the radiologist or ultrasound operator who originally made them. Thus, even if it were decided that all X-ray and ultrasound images should be considered eligible for copyright, a substantial fraction of these images would still be free. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 21:28, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep in general. I don't think most of these would qualify for copyright under U.S. law. UK law may be different. Privacy rights and health records laws can be an issue, but I think only if the subject is identifiable (and did not publish them voluntarily) -- usually not the case with these. Even ultrasounds seem rather unlikely to be copyrightable to me. Many of them are probably published by medical institutions anyways. Definitely should not be deleting anything like this en-masse. It has been discussed before; most opinions are PD-ineligible I'm pretty sure. If there is any case law you know of, by all means post it, but short of that I can't see any good reason for deletion.

 Comment Rizome has confused this deletion request by including categories with thousands of other images. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 07:01, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I tried to show how many images could be deleted if "medical diagnostic images" are not accepted. This deletion request must be examined here, because there are much more images with the same problem. --Rizome (talk) 11:20, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete. These images can be compared to photographs and they do get IMHO the same protection as photographs. If you decide that these photographs do not pass the threshold of originality, then we should have a special template, like {{PD-medical image}}, which would warn about reuse in United Kingdom (no originality needed, need of skill and labor is enough) and the Nordic countries (all photographs are protected, thus no originality needed). --Joku Janne(Fi) (Wikiwiki) 09:51, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kept. No valid reason for mass deletion. Open a DR if you have specific images with valid claims. Yann (talk) 16:33, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
