Evidence Standards

Required image types

• - frontal hairline and frontal oblique views
• - top and crown views
• - bilateral donor views
• - time-sequenced follow-up where available

Evidence sufficiency and confidence grading

Confidence is influenced by evidence completeness, image quality, standardization, and contextual detail. Missing views may reduce confidence without automatically implying low surgical quality.

Image-only limitations

Image-based review has known limitations. Procedural context and documentation, when available, are used to improve defensibility and interpretive confidence.
