Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • In five burn centres a Laser Doppler Line Scanner (LDLS) was compared with the established LDI. • The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy and convenience of the LDLS. • An accuracy of 94.2% was found with use of the LDLS compared with 94.4% for the original LDI imager. • LDLS size and mobility enabled easier ward and outpatient use. • The higher scan speed was particularly beneficial for scans in paediatric patients.
