TL;DR: An image analysis technique for the rapid quantification of fibre alignment at each pixel location is evaluated for quantitatively mapping scar formation in histological sections of cutaneous burns to provide objective surrogate endpoints for evaluating cutaneous wound repair and regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uniting Evidence-Based Evaluation with the ACGME Plastic Surgery Milestones: A Simple and Reliable Assessment of Resident Operative Performance.
Edward M. Kobraei,Jordan D. Bohnen,Brian C. George,John T. Mullen,Keith D. Lillemoe,William G. Austen,Eric C. Liao +6 more
TL;DR: SIMPL is an innovative, evidence-based evaluation system that makes performance assessment feasible for every procedure in which a plastic surgery resident participates and can be easily scaled to facilitate data collection and reporting of mandatory Milestones evaluations at the program and national levels.
