Abstract
Cutaneous neurofibroma (cNF) is a prevalent clinical manifestation of neurofibromatosis type 1, significantly affecting the well-being and quality of life of the affected individuals. The adoption of reliable and reproducible volumetric measurement techniques is essential for precisely evaluating tumor burden and plays a critical role in the development of effective treatments for cNF. This study focuses on widely used volumetric measurement techniques, including vernier calipers, ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and three-dimensional scanning imaging. It outlines the merits and drawbacks of each technique in assessing the cNF load, providing an overview of their current applications and ongoing research advancements in this domain.
