Hyperspectral imaging as a novel diagnostic tool in microcirculation of wounds

Abstract

Hyperspectral Imaging allowed easy real time determination and visualization of hemodynamically relevant parameters- superficial and deeper oxygen saturation, total hemoglobin and tissue water content. In the patient with scleroderma, acral lesions with decreased perfusion correlated well with necrotic skin aspects.HSI clearly revealed macroscopic conspicuous suture wounds after Dupuytren surgery, infected soft tissue wounds with strong inflammatory hyperemia, edema in burn injuries, spatial geometry of abscess formation and chronic ulcer wounds. All measurements influenced further surveillance decisions. Hyperspectral imaging seems suitable for routine diagnostics and monitoring of skin and soft tissue lesions like acute and chronic wounds. It allows surveillance of postoperative suture wounds and burn wounds. Special indications may be transplant surveillance and monitoring of therapeutical interventions.

Hyperspectral characterization of re‐epithelialization in an in vitro wound model

“…A spectral dimension that enables spectroscopy, combined with a high spatial resolution suitable for imaging of heterogeneous structures makes hyperspectral imaging relevant for a wide range of biomedical applications [3]. Examples include wound imaging [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11], burn wound imaging [9,12], skin bruises [13], cancer diagnostics and surgical guidance [3,14]. The large amounts of data generated by the technique require methods for extracting relevant information.…”

Hyperspectral imaging in wound care: A systematic review

“…In most cases (n = 19) the multi‐patient studies were reported 1,2,5,7,54‐68 . However, in some cases (n = 12), the case studies were reported 8,50,69‐78 …”

The Comparative Study of the Microcirculation Parameters in the Patients Presenting with Varicose Veins Before and After Surgery with the Use of Diosmin/Hesperidine

“…В зарубежной литературе для исследования ми кроциркуляции во флебологии используют лазерное излучение (L. Huisman) [11], спектральный анализ (G. Daeschlein) [12] (сатурация в поверхностных и более глубоких венах, содержание гемоглобина), од нако работ, посвященных лазерной допплеровской флоуметрии, при поиске в PudMed мы не встретили.…”
