Background: The swelling of the extremities seen in lymphedema can be measured with many different volumetric devices; however, many methods lack important characteristics including reproducibility and independence from the subjectivity and skill of the operator. The aim of this study was to validate the use of the Perometer^® as a possible standard for volumetric measurement methods based on the inter-observer and intra-observer variability when using a standard method of Perometry^®.

使用 Perometer 下肢体积测量的观察者间和观察者内变异性

背景：淋巴水肿中所见的四肢肿胀可以用许多不同的容积装置进行测量。然而，许多方法缺乏重要的特征，包括可重复性和独立于操作者的主观性和技能。本研究的目的是验证利用Perometer的^®作为可能的标准使用Perometry的标准方法在基于帧间观察者内和观察者变异体积测量方法^®。
