“…The foot ulcer area is one of the established indicators to determine the prognosis of ulcer healing and predict the effectiveness of treatment (Assadian et al, 2019; Bates‐Jensen & Bohn, 2016). Non‐narrowing or even enlargement of the ulcer area is one of the signs of ulcer deterioration, making treatment regimen adjustment necessary and imminent (Bates et al, 2018; Parker et al, 2016).…”

“…The Maximum Length and Width Method (MLWM) is a conventional approach for the quantitative assessment of ulcer areas. However, it bears some deficiencies (Bates-Jensen & Bohn, 2016). Firstly, the MLWM is designed for rectangle measurement, whereas most DFUs are irregular in shape, so the method probably results in data magnification to some extent.…”

Background: Ulcer area is a critical parameter in diabetic foot ulcer assessment but existing methods have deficiencies for routine measurement. Aim: We hypothesized that the Image J-based Computer Analysis method has a high level of agreement with the commonly used Maximum Length and Width and the Transparent Dressing-based Square Grid methods and aimed to test the consistency and verify the feasibility of the Image J-based Computer Analysis method in the routine assessment of ulcers. Methods: Outpatient attendees with diabetic foot ulcers at the Department of Endocrinology of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital were enrolled between October 2020 and October 2021. The three methods sequentially assessed the area of 65 included ulcers. Results were analysed using one-way analysis of variance and Bland-Altman plots to perform consistency analysis.Results: The mean ± standard deviation ulcer area measured using the three methods were 14. 79 ± 5.39, 14.35 ± 5.26, and 14.30 ± 5.26 cm 2 , respectively. The measurement differences among the three groups or between any two were not statistically significant. Bland-Altman plots showed good consistency between the Image J-based Computer Analysis and the other two methods. Conclusion:The Image J-based Computer Analysis method can be interchanged with the other methods to assess ulcer areas. It is freely accessible, accurate and homeoperable, thus worth consideration by nurses for routine ulcer area assessment.

“…Since the wound surface area is considered the best parameter to follow during wound healing progress [2], different works addressed this issue in the last years [22], [24], [27]- [30]. Wound region delineation from an image is also a concern in many works, however mostly limited to color photography.…”

“…The wound area is an essential factor in wound assessment [2], and its estimation is often performed by using photography in visible light [3]. Therefore, the latest research harnesses the image processing techniques in wound assessment [4], [5] as well as shows the applicability of using multimodal images to monitor the healing process [6], [7].…”

Wound 3D Geometrical Feature Estimation Using Poisson Reconstruction

With the aging population of the developed countries, the diseases of affluence become common. One of the consequences of their complications are chronic wounds that affect more and more people. Because the healing of chronic wounds is a lengthy process, its monitoring should be as simple as possible, yet providing accurate and reliable documentation. In this article, we present an image acquisition system and wound surface reconstruction method using several imaging modalities: color photography, thermal imaging, and depth perception. The proposed method is dedicated mainly to wounds located on the limbs where body curvature is large, and its influence on 2D results cannot be neglected. Our approach minimizes the extra effort taken by the medical staff to prepare the wound outline as it is still performed using 2D color photo and then mapped into the 3D space. The method was validated on 29 data sets containing two 3D point clouds from two depth imaging devices (depth camera and stereo camera) as well as 2D color photos and thermal maps. The approach was compared with expert delineations as well as other contemporary methods for wound surface reconstruction presented in the literature. Performed experiments and the obtained results show that the proposed method is statistically concordant with expert delineations performed in 3D.
