# Three-Dimensional Visualisation of Burn Wounds: Concordance of Artec Eva and Revopoint Miraco with Clinical Photography—A Case Series

## TL;DR

This study compares two 3D scanning systems for documenting burn wounds and finds that Artec Eva provides more accurate and consistent results than Revopoint Miraco.

## Contribution

The study introduces a comparison of handheld 3D scanning systems for burn wound documentation and evaluates their clinical accuracy.

## Key findings

- Artec Eva showed superior color accuracy and clearer wound delineation compared to Revopoint Miraco.
- Revopoint Miraco captured wound shape reliably but had darker tones and exaggerated surface relief.
- Both systems identified healing features, but Artec Eva was more clinically accurate and visually consistent.

## Abstract

Accurate documentation of burn wounds is essential for evaluating treatment outcomes and monitoring healing progression. Traditional two-dimensional (2D) photography remains the clinical standard but lacks depth and volumetric accuracy. Three-dimensional (3D) scanning offers enhanced visualization of wound morphology and tissue vitality, potentially improving objectivity in burn assessment. This study compares two handheld 3D scanning systems—Artec Eva and Revopoint Miraco—in documenting acute and healing burn wounds, using standard clinical photography as the reference. Fifteen patients with second-degree and third-degree burns were prospectively examined at the Burn Unit of AGEL Hospital Košice-Šaca, with five representative cases selected for detailed analysis. For each patient, clinical photographs and paired 3D scans were obtained under standardized conditions and evaluated for color fidelity, wound margin clarity, representation of epithelialisation islands, necrotic tissue, and correlation with clinical findings. Across all cases, Artec Eva demonstrated superior color accuracy, clearer wound delineation, and more realistic visualization of tissue vitality and re-epithelialisation. Revopoint Miraco reliably captured wound shape but produced darker tones and exaggerated surface relief, occasionally distorting depth perception. Overall, both systems successfully identified key healing features; however, Artec Eva provided more clinically accurate and visually consistent results. Three-dimensional scanning represents a valuable adjunct to conventional burn documentation.
