Use of 3-Dimensional Stereophotogrammetry to Detect Disease Progression in Craniofacial Morphea.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Objectively determining disease progression in craniofacial morphea (CM) is challenging, as clinical findings of disease activity are often lacking.

Objective

To evaluate the utility of 3-dimensional (3D) stereophotogrammetry in detecting disease progression in CM over time.

Design, setting, and participants

This prospective cohort study included 27 pediatric and adult patients with CM from 2 hospitals in Boston (Boston Children's Hospital and Brigham & Women's Hospital) consecutively enrolled from April 1, 2019, to March 1, 2023. Review of 3D stereophotogrammetry images and data analysis occurred from March 1 to April 1, 2023.

Main outcomes and measures

Clinical and 3D stereophotogrammetry assessments were performed at 2- to 12-month intervals, depe
