Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate active dynamic thermography (ADT) as a novel, quantitative method for burn wound depth assessment.
  • To compare the efficacy of ADT against established clinical and histopathological methods.
  • To determine the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of ADT in burn wound evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • In vivo experiments were conducted on domestic pigs with induced burn wounds.

  • Active dynamic thermography (ADT) involved thermal pulse excitation and infrared image capture.
  • Thermal time constant (tau) was calculated for each pixel and correlated with burn depth.

    • Main Results:

    • ADT demonstrated a statistically significant difference in the thermal time constant (tau) between burns healing within 3 weeks and those that did not (p<0.05).
    • ADT exhibited superior accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity compared to static thermography, clinical assessment, and histopathology.
    • The calculated mean tau values were 12.08±1.94s for healing burns and 9.07±0.68s for non-healing burns.

    Conclusions:

    • Active dynamic thermography (ADT) is a reliable, non-invasive, and quantitative method for assessing burn wound depth.
    • ADT shows potential as a cost-effective diagnostic tool in burn care.
    • Further animal and clinical studies are warranted to validate ADT's clinical utility.
