Background:
- Accurate estimation of wound surface area is a critical prognostic factor in wound healing.
- Quantifying wound size is essential for effective treatment planning and monitoring healing progress.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a non-invasive method for estimating wound surface area.
- To assess the accuracy of a 3D surface reconstruction technique for wound measurement.
Main Methods:
- Implementation of a non-invasive 3D surface reconstruction methodology utilizing two monocular cameras.
- Verification of the method through phantom measurements with known dimensions.
- Application and testing on 10 patients with diverse wound types.
Main Results:
- Phantom measurements demonstrated an accuracy of less than 11 percent for the implemented method.
- Patient measurements achieved comparable accuracy to phantom tests.
- The system utilizes advanced algorithms and cost-effective equipment.
Conclusions:
- The developed 3D surface reconstruction method provides an accurate and objective means for estimating wound surface area.
