3-D wound scanner: A novel, effective, reliable, and convenient tool for measuring scar area

The accurate evaluation of scars is important in the prevention and treatment of scars [1]. The main evaluation markers of scars include the color, depth, thickness, and regularity of the scar, the presence or absence of pain and itchiness, and the area of the scar [2]. The measurement of the scar area can accurately reflect the trends and degree of changes in contracture and hyperplasia during the formation and development of the scar and provides guidance for the prevention and treatment of scars [3].
