A mobile device to provide a medical image based distortion correction mechanism is described. An image analysis application, executed by the mobile device, captures a digital copy of the medical image with a camera component in response to a user action. Distortion(s) associated with the digital copy are identified by processing the digital copy with deep neural network (DNN) model(s). Next, a manual correction description is determined to correct the distortion(s) in relation to the camera component and the medical image. Furthermore, a notification to recapture the digital copy is provided to the user. The notification includes the manual correction description. Additionally, in response to another user action to correct the distortion(s) or a failure to detect the user execute manual correction(s) associated with the distortion(s) within a time period, the distortion(s) within the digital copy are corrected and the corrected digital copy is provided to the user.
