COMPARISION OF DIFFERENT IMAGING TECHNIQUES USED FOR CHRONIC WOUNDS

Abstract

Many people suffer from chronic wounds .It is a major problem in healthcare .worldwide. The treatments of chronic wounds include monitoring colour and size (area or volume) of the wound at regular intervals. This evaluation is often based on qualitative observation and manual measurements of the wound. Now a days there several researchers are developing technologies to assess the clinical improvement of chronic wounds. This paper aims to provide a study on imaging technologies applied to chronic wounds. A study on imaging technologies applied to chronic wounds is presented. Their reliability, precision, and usage are compared. The methods are divided into three categories: planimetric techniques, volumetric Technique and tissue classification.
