Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging
  • Wound Care

Context:

  • Current chronic wound management relies on 2D measurements, lacking objective volume assessment.
  • Accurate wound volume evaluation is crucial for quality assurance in modern wound care.

Purpose:

  • To present DigiSkin, a new system for accurate 3D documentation and volume measurement of chronic wounds.
  • To demonstrate the clinical utility and scientific advantages of objective 3D wound volume quantification.

Summary:

  • DigiSkin integrates digital photography, optical grid scanning, and image processing for precise 3D wound reconstruction.
  • The system generates scatter-plots for computer-assisted 3D measurement and visual documentation.
  • It enables objective quantification of chronic wound volume changes, a significant advancement over 2D methods.

Impact:

  • DigiSkin offers the first objective method for assessing chronic wound volume changes.
  • This technology enhances the scientific basis and clinical employment of wound management strategies.
  • The case report illustrates DigiSkin's application in tracking wound healing during vacuum closure therapy and mesh-graft transplantation.
