Evaluation of leg ulcer treatment with stereophotogrammetry. A pilot study.
This report describes stereophotogrammetric measurements of leg ulcers. A basic technical description of the method and its application in a pilot study are presented. The clinical evaluation of the healing of leg ulcers is compared to the photogrammetrically determined parameters--edge length, surface area, and volume--of the ulcers, and seems to fulfil the need for an objective method in the evaluation of leg ulcer treatment.
