This review was carried out to analyse the functions of three Vector Graphic Editor applications (VGEs) applicable to clinical or research practice, and through this we propose a two-dimensional image analysis protocol in a VGE. We adapted the review method from the PRISMA-ScR protocol. Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched until June 2020 with the following keywords: Vector Graphics Editor, Vector Graphics Editor Dentistry, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Illustrator Dentistry, Coreldraw, Coreldraw Dentistry, Inkscape, Inkscape Dentistry. The publications found described the functions of the following VGEs: Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, and Inkscape. The possibility of replicating the procedures to perform the VGE functions was analysed using each study's data. The search yielded 1032 publications. After the selection, 21 articles met the eligibility criteria. They described eight VGE functions: line tracing, landmarks tracing, linear measurement recording, angular measurement recording, image calibration, image overlay, file transfer, and vector graphics development. The features offered by the VGEs bring great precision and objectivity to two-dimensional image analysis. The image analysis and editing procedures are currently not protocolised. Thus, a protocol for image calibration and measurement recording is proposed in order to guarantee the protocol's replication.
这篇综述旨在分析三种适用于临床或研究实践的矢量图形编辑器（Vector Graphic Editor，VGE）的功能，并在此基础上提出一种在 VGE 中进行二维图像分析的方案。我们采用了 PRISMA-ScR 方案的综述方法。在 Pubmed、Embase、Web of Science 和 Scopus 数据库中进行检索，检索时间截至 2020 年 6 月，检索词为：Vector Graphic Editor、Vector Graphic Editor Dentistry、Adobe Illustrator、Adobe Illustrator Dentistry、Coreldraw、Coreldraw Dentistry、Inkscape、Inkscape Dentistry。所检索到的文献描述了以下 VGE 的功能：Adobe Illustrator、CorelDRAW 和 Inkscape。我们分析了每项研究的数据，以评估复制 VGE 功能的可能性。检索结果共得到 1032 篇文献，经过筛选，有 21 篇文章符合纳入标准。这些文章描述了八种 VGE 功能：线条追踪、标志点追踪、线性测量记录、角度测量记录、图像校准、图像叠加、文件传输和矢量图形开发。VGE 提供的功能为二维图像分析带来了极大的精确性和客观性。目前，图像分析和编辑过程尚未标准化。因此，为了保证方案的可复制性，我们提出了一种图像校准和测量记录的方案。
