This study introduces a non-contact system for leg ulcer measurement, assessing both area and volume. The innovative method provides fast, reliable wound evaluation for improved patient management.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging
  • Wound Care Technology

Background:

  • Leg ulcers pose significant challenges in assessment and management.
  • Accurate measurement of ulcer dimensions is crucial for tracking healing progress.
  • Existing methods for leg ulcer measurement can be invasive or lack precision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a non-contact, semi-automatic system for precise leg ulcer measurement.
  • To enable accurate evaluation of both ulcer area and volume.
  • To create a reliable tool for leg ulcer management and patient data tracking.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a structured light scanning system with color-coded light projection.
  • Creating a virtual reconstruction of the former healthy skin for volume calculation.
