A comparative evaluation of spectrophotometric intracutaneous analysis and laser doppler imaging in the assessment of adult and paediatric burn injuries

Clinical assessment of mid dermal burns can be challenging. Currently, Laser Doppler Imaging is the gold standard adjunct in the assessment of burn injuries. Whilst Laser Doppler Imaging has demonstrated reliable accuracy, it poses various limitations in everyday use including cost and ease of use. In comparison, Spectrophotometric Intracutaneous Analysis is a relatively cheaper technique which can be carried out using a modified digital camera which enables easy image acquisition. We aim to compare the accuracy of the two modalities in the assessment of mid-dermal burn injuries.
