The system includes an imaging booth with a plurality of cameras for capturing body images of a patient, a server for storing and transmitting patient images and patient information, a computer and/or mobile computing device in communication with the server, and a computer processing unit in communication with a program application that includes the ability to conduct or schedule a live feed video consultation between the patient and a medical provider where the live feed video consultation enables both the patient and the medical provider to view the patient's body images. The imaging booth may be a foldable total body imaging apparatus that includes a foldable floor to produce a compact folded apparatus having a small footprint when not in use. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for patient body imaging with live feed medical video consultation comprising: a foldable imaging booth including a plurality of cameras for capturing body images of a patient and removable handles extending from an interior back of the foldable imaging booth for assisting body positioning of a patient and handle holders for retaining the handles when the foldable imaging booth is in a folded position; a server for storing and transmitting patient images and patient information; at least one of a computer and/or mobile computing device in communication with the server; and a computer processing unit in communication with at least one program application that includes the ability to conduct or schedule a live feed video consultation between the patient and a medical provider where the live feed video consultation enables both the patient and the medical provider to view the patient's body images. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the live feed video consultation occurs immediately following the capture of the patient's body images and is performed using a display screen contained within the imaging booth. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the live feed video consultation takes place at a later scheduled time where the patient and medical provider each utilize their own computer or mobile computing device to carry out the live feed video consultation. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the computer processing unit is in communication with a program application that enables the medical provider to observe the capturing of the patient's body images in real-time via live feed video. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the computer processing unit is in communication with a program application that enables the medical provider to order and schedule body imaging of the patient utilizing a predesignated imaging booth at a predesignated time. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the computer processing unit is in communication with a program application that enables at least one of delivery of the patient's body images in the form of electronic medical records to the patient's medical provider and/or medical facility and interfacing with existing electronic medical record databases to compare the patient's body images with existing medical records for the patient. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the foldable imaging booth includes a foldable floor having a locking pin for locking the foldable floor in an unfolded position for use during patient body imaging. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7 wherein the foldable imaging booth further includes a quick release pin for locking the foldable floor to a front frame of the foldable imaging booth when the foldable floor is in a folded position. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the foldable imaging booth includes a plurality of movable and lockable curtain rails. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9 wherein the foldable imaging booth further includes a front frame member and a back frame member wherein the plurality of movable and lockable curtain rails are located between the front and back frame members. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10 wherein the plurality of curtain rails are each respectively connected to a front curtain bracket that is connected to the front frame member and a rear curtain bracket that is connected to the back frame member. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11 wherein the plurality of curtain rails are capable of being lowered and locked into position near the back frame member when the foldable imaging booth is in a folded position. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10 wherein the plurality of cameras are attached to the front frame member. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13 wherein the plurality of cameras include a wide angle lens camera to capture a total body image of the patient and a plurality of high resolution cameras to capture different body portions of the patient. ### Claim 15 A system for patient body imaging with live feed medical video consultation comprising: a foldable imaging booth including a plurality of cameras for capturing body images of a patient, a foldable floor having a locking pin for locking the foldable floor in an unfolded position for use during patient body imaging, and a quick release pin for locking the foldable floor to a front frame of the foldable imaging booth when the foldable floor is in a folded position; a server for storing and transmitting patient images and patient information; at least one of a computer and/or mobile computing device in communication with the server; and a computer processing unit in communication with at least one program application that includes the ability to conduct or schedule a live feed video consultation between the patient and a medical provider where the live feed video consultation enables both the patient and the medical provider to view the patient's body images. ### Claim 16 A system for patient body imaging with live feed medical video consultation comprising: a foldable imaging booth including a front frame member and a back frame member, a plurality of cameras for capturing body images of a patient connected to the front frame member, a front curtain bracket connected to the front frame member and a back curtain bracket connected to the back frame member, and a plurality of movable and lockable curtain rails located between the front and back frame members that are respectively connected to the front and back curtain brackets wherein the plurality of curtain rails are capable of being lowered and locked into position near the back frame member when the foldable imaging booth is in a folded position; a server for storing and transmitting patient images and patient information; at least one of a computer and/or mobile computing device in communication with the server; and a computer processing unit in communication with at least one program application that includes the ability to conduct or schedule a live feed video consultation between the patient and a medical provider where the live feed video consultation enables both the patient and the medical provider to view the patient's body images.
