Tools for Automatic Wound Healing Evaluation

Abstract

Final results of the research project devoted to development of a new objective and quantitative method of post cardiosurgery wound healing diagnostics, already preliminary discussed at the QIRT 2014 Conference, is presented. We assumed that thermal processes should be effective in subtle description of temporal changes of tissue thermal properties after surgical interventions. To prove this assumption more than 400 patients after cardiosurgery intervention on the open heart participated in clinical experiments using IR thermal cameras as diagnostic instrumentation. We applied both – classical thermal image capture as well as active dynamic thermography method ADT – for analysis of thermal processes existed in the vicinity of the postoperative wound. Here we concentrate on description of technical issues of the developed instrumentation and procedures applied in the research. Discussion is devoted to the problem of standardization of measurement conditions, possible hardware solutions to be applied in clinics and necessary procedures of data acquisition and processing.
