Fig. 2. The correlation between patient and observer scar assessment scale (POSAS) to objective scar assessment tool. (A) a* indicated color values from green to red and it was applied to scar vascularity. The correlation between POSAS and spectrometer was significant but moderate relationship. (B, C) L* expressed brightness and it was used for the evaluation of scar pigmentation. b* designated values from blue to yellow and it was used for the measurement of scar pigmentation along with L*. The degree of correlation about pigmentation showed insignificant results between two different scar evaluation tool.
