SUMMARY This report describes stereophotogrammetric measurements of leg ulcers. A basic technical description of the method and its application in a pilot study are presented. The clinical evaluation of the healing of leg ulcers is compared to the photogrammetrically determined parameters—edge length, surface area, and volume—of the ulcers, and seems to fulfil the need for an objective method in the evaluation of leg ulcer treatment.
