A comparison between laser-doppler imaging and colorimetry in the assessment of scarring: “a pilot study”

Background:

This cross-sectional pilot-study investigated the reproducibility of the LDI (Moor-LDI-B2; Moor Instruments) and the chromameter (Minolta chromameter CR-300) when used in scar assessment.



Methods:

Twenty-seven scars in 14 subjects were included between January and June 2003. One observer performed two times both measurements with 10 min apart. The intra-observer agreement is quantified by means of the intra-class correlations (ICC) and the standard errors of measurement (SEM) for both the LDI and the chromameter.



Results:

Ignoring one outlier, the ICC of the LDI = 0.856 and the SEM = 34.56. The chromameter shows a better reproducibility with an ICC of ...
