摘要: We evaluated a new method of computer-based scanning skin prick test wheal areas. To the calibration program, we scanned five constructed circles exactly defined areas between 5 and 255 mm 2 . One these was in different degrees contrast (modes), middle mode being used other experiments. also investigated inter- intraoperator variation. Finally, results obtained by measuring diameters wheals area determination were compared for 82 histamine 75 egg wheals. The found agreed well with real (P<0.01) (mean 97.4-100.8%), except smallest (5 ) (NS). Areas position closely resembled area. coefficient variation (c.v.) 1.4% (0.3-4.3), day-to-day c.v. 1.9% (0.2-5.3), interoperator 2.3% (0.7-5.7), higher small Histamine significantly larger diameter (126% 129%, respectively) than method. difference methods most pronounced lower that program is precise recommended registration reactions scientific trials. Although scanner works has high precision, major problem testing seems still to be reproducibility technique employed.
