Stereophotogrammetric three-dimensional photography is an accurate and precise planimetric method for the clinical visualization and quantification of human papilloma virus-induced skin lesions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The quantification of human papilloma virus (HPV)-induced skin lesions is essential for the clinical assessment of the course of disease and the response to treatment. However, clinical assessments that measure dimensions of lesions using a caliper do not provide complete insight into three-dimensional (3D) lesions, and its inter-rater variability is often poor.

Objective

The aim of this study was to validate a stereophotogrammetric 3D camera system for the quantification of HPV-induced lesions.

Methods

The camera system was validated for accuracy, precision and interoperator and inter-rater variability. Subsequently, 3D photographs were quantified and compared to caliper measurements for clinical validation by Bland-Altman modelling, based on data from 80
