Background: The surface area of scars is an important outcome parameter in scar assessment. It is often used to quantify the extent of scar features, such as pigmentation disturbances, hypertrophy, and contracture. Currently available techniques for measuring the surface area are known to be cumbersome or do not meet the basic clinimetric criteria (i.e., reliability and validity). Three-dimensional stereophotogrammetry is a technique that may improve the quality of surface area measurements…

Objective Quantification of Subjective Parameters in Scars by Use of a Portable Stereophotographic System
TLDR
The objective parameters enabled to complement or even replace subjective clinical findings, and this method proved to be useful for follow-up of therapeutic outcomes in scars.
Reliability and Accuracy of Techniques for Surface Area Measurements of Wounds and Scars
TLDR
The study permits the conclusion that planimetry by photography is more suitable for surface area measurements than planimetric by tracing except for extremely curved body parts, where it is likely that effects of distortion supervene.
A comparison of photographic and transparency-based methods for measuring wound surface area.
TLDR
It is concluded that the photographic and transparency methods, as applied in this study of ulcers, provided equivalently reliable measurements and that WSA measurements obtained by the two methods were equivalent.
Stereophotogrammetry for measuring rates of cutaneous healing: a comparison with conventional techniques.
TLDR
St stereophotogrammetry is the only system which can validly be used to study rates of healing in this model and is also able to measure volume to within 5% and is unique in being able to do this noninvasively.

TLDR
The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale was developed recently and found to be a useful subjective evaluation tool for burn scars and is an appropriate subjective tool for the evaluation of linear scars.

TLDR
An overview and update are given on the most relevant noninvasive objective measurement tools for scar evaluation and the best measurement tools that are currently available were recommended.

TLDR
Evaluating the validity and reliability of facial anthropometric linear distances imaged by 3D digital photogrammetry with respect to direct anthropometry found that craniofacial anthropometry using the 3dMDface System is valid and reliable.
A systematic review of the performance of instruments designed to measure the dimensions of pressure ulcers
TLDR
No definitive conclusions could be reached about studies of diameter or depth; this means that there is little evidence to underpin recommendations in clinical guidelines and further primary research is needed to evaluate methods of wound measurement used in clinical practice.
