Abstract
#Diabeticfootulcers (DFUs) are the most common of the #plethora of
complications arising from #diabetes. To date, clinicians employ visual
inspection of the wound site during its standard 4- week healing process
via monitoring of surface epithelization. Herein, a hand-held
#nearinfraredopticalscanner (NIROS) has been developed for non-contact imaging of
DFUs and differentiating between healing and non-healing
ulcers based on differences in blood flow to the wound and its
surroundings. Non-contact near-infrared area imaging of DFUs have been
carried to obtain diffuse #reflectanceimages of the wound and its
surroundings. These images were used to quantify optical contrasts
between
the wound and its surroundings. The variability in imaging conditions,
analysis and operator dependency were assessed to determine the
robustness of the imaging approach.
