Abstract :
The new Wound Diagnostics Tool (WDT) software package presented here aims to produce wound progress statistics that have clinical significance by linking digital image-based and three-dimensional (3D) geometry maps of the ulcer with existing traditional risk assessment techniques and other wound progress tracking information. All this information is then combined in a detailed electronic report that can be integrated with additional patient progress information in a picture archives communication system or web based database. This study presents data from early clinical trials supporting the increased accuracy and efficiency of the new photoimaging and scanner-based wound diagnostics method.
