Measuring the size of hypertrophic scars and keloids using 3D cameras after surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to measure the volumes of hypertrophic scars and keloids in patients who have undergone surgery, using a 3D camera at various time points: day 0, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post-surgery. The focus is on evaluating the effectiveness of the 3D camera as a tool for measuring and documenting scar volumes through volumetry. By capturing detailed three-dimensional images, the study seeks to provide a more accurate assessment of scar progression over time.
