Abstract

All breast cancer treatment involves surgery, which inevitably leaves scars. Some previous studies of scarring in other healthcare settings have employed colorimeters. However, specialized colorimetry equipment is not widely used in plastic surgery; Instead, surgical outcomes are documented using digital photography. In this study, we used controlled experiments with artificial scars to compare measurements obtained by a colorimeter and a digital camera.
