Abstract
Background:
Accurate keloid assessment is crucial for effective treatment planning. The Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) is widely used but relies on subjective observation, leading to variability in scoring. Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) has emerged as a promising technique for objective assessment of keloid vascularity by quantifying blood perfusion. This study investigates the correlation between LSCI-derived perfusion metrics and VSS scores to evaluate their clinical utility in keloid assessment and treatment monitoring.
