Abstract Background: Lymphedema is a common complication following @entity0 treatment, estimated to affect 20% of @entity0 survivors. The condition is associated with a number of symptoms, such as impaired range of motion and @entity148 . A wide range of methods for determining the volume of the lymphedematous arm have been described. @entity7939 ( @entity7939 ) is commonly used in clinics to appraise arm volume, while @entity572 ( @entity572 ) is often used in studies. The aim of the study was to assess the performance of a new method using 3D-technology in comparison to @entity7939 and @entity572 . METHODS AND RESULTS: The study was performed on 25 subjects with @entity0 treatment. Volumetric data from @entity7939 , @entity572 , and the 3D-camera were gathered on all subjects. The measurements were performed by two physiotherapists, each subject being measured by one of the physiotherapist. Estimates of differences between the methods was calculated through analyzing the data collected from the three methods using mixed-design analyses of variance. The results indicated a tendency for the 3D-camera to overestimate the volume in comparison the @entity572 by 45.25   mL, 95% confidence interval (CI) -36.31 - 126.82 (p value 0.270). Conversely, @entity7939 showed a tendency to underestimate the volume compared to @entity572 (-24.28   mL, CI -99.78 - 51.22, p value 0.521). Thus, no statistically significant difference was found between the methods. CONCLUSIONS: The 3D-camera is a viable method for measuring arm volume, performing on level with the established methods @entity572 and @entity7939 .
