摘　　要：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.
