title: Measurement of geometric parameters in plastic surgery research: use of the departmental microcomputer.
abstract: Three types of digitising device are described which may be used with a microcomputer for the measurement of such parameters as length, distance, area, angles and point counts. Some applications in plastic surgery research are considered.
