Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Geometry
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Accurate wound surface area measurement is crucial for assessing healing progress and treatment efficacy.
  • Existing methods for 3-D wound reconstruction and area calculation can be complex and prone to errors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel quadrature scheme for calculating three-dimensional (3-D) wound surface area.
  • To compare the proposed method with direct summation techniques, evaluating accuracy and error sources.

Main Methods:

  • A quadrature scheme was developed utilizing a 3-D CAD surface element model (SEM) and a 2-D wound image.
  • Discrete summation was employed over the 2-D wound region, incorporating local curvature data from the SEM.
  • Error approximation for elemental discretization was derived and assessed.

Main Results:

  • The proposed quadrature scheme accurately calculates 3-D wound surface area.
  • Error due to elemental discretization was found to be negligible at the considered resolution.
  • Direct summation over surface element space exhibited significant fringe errors along the wound boundary.

Conclusions:

  • The presented quadrature scheme offers a reliable and accurate method for 3-D wound surface area calculation.
  • This technique minimizes errors compared to direct summation, making it suitable for clinical wound assessment.
