“…Portable industrial 3-D scanners have also become available and have been experimented on wound measurement. Examples are the Minolta V series [9], [42] and 910 series [16] and the Fastscan Polhemus system [29], all based on a laser stripe scanning, the latter being moreover a handheld system due to magnetic sensing of the system pose. More recently, a commercial system has been proposed by Aranz Medical : the SilhouetteMobile system is based on a personal digital assistant (PDA) equipped with a small digital camera with embedded laser lighting.…”

“…32 The Konica Minolta Vivid 910 (Konica Minolta, Tokyo, Japan) 33 and Polhemus FastSCAN (Aranz, Christchurch, New Zealand) have similarly been shown to be of use in imaging and measurement of wounds. 34 The generalist 3D imaging space has a continual drive for decreased cost and improved image quality, making these systems increasingly attractive for the wound measurement application. However, there is not as yet an "off-the-shelf" clinical wound measurement solution available for use with these hardware platforms.…”

This is driven by, e.g., neuropathy and peripheral arterial disease. It is well recognized that best practice in wound care requires wound assessment, including measurement, on presentation and regularly throughout the treatment program. Proper assessment is necessary to ensure that the most appropriate and cost-effective therapy is used at all times, with quantitative measurement necessary to track the efficacy of the chosen approach. A documented assessment can also assist patient-clinician dialog and discussion within the multidisciplinary team. Remote evaluation and assessment of the wound is also of increasing importance and practicality through the use of a telemedicine approach. There has been considerable progress in the space of imaging for wounds, including systems that include threedimensional measurement and telemedicine features. This literature review examines the available options and reviews the clinical evidence for measurement accuracy, scope for remote assessment, and published user feedback on the systems. J Diabetes Sci Technol 2013;7(5):1190-1194 SYMPOSIUMFoot ulcers are one of the most common complications of diabetes, affecting up to 25% of patients during their lifetime 1 and frequently resulting in hospitalization. 2-4Diabetic foot ulcers are also associated with significant morbidity and mortality, 5 with 80% of all diabetes-related lower extremity amputation being preceded by a foot ulcer. 6 Together with prevention strategies, proper management must be a mainstay in the approach to curbing the burden associated with foot ulcers.Accurate recognition and monitoring of ulcer characteristics facilitates benchmarking therapeutic response. Further, if research into new agents/interventions for wound healing should continue to inform practice, it is essential that ulcer characteristics are well defined in order to (i) enable comparison between studies, (ii) determine which patients/ulcers derive the most benefits from a particular therapeutic approach, and (iii) allow accurate monitoring of wound healing in order to guide clinical decision making.

“…These approaches increase the rate of contamination; and are inaccurate with error rate 10-40% and 5-15% for depth estimation using the cotton tips and wound moulds, respectively [46][47][48]. Several approaches tried to develop non-invasive volume measurement applying wound 3D reconstruction including photogrammetry [39,49], structured light analysis [4,17,34,50], and industrial 3D digitiser [18,51].…”

“…In clinical arena, assessment methods have mainly been based on Significant advances in the field of digital image processing make the standardized digital photography as the most popular tool which considers both aspects of the wound for assessment of healing. Several successful attempts to classify wound tissue have been made through segmentation algorithms applied to various sets of features extracted from different colour spaces, with the aim of objectively monitoring the colour changes during healing [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] and automatically determining the wound volume and area [16][17][18]. All these proposed methods for assessing wound healing provide information only at the surface level and cannot be applied to all types of wound [2,19].…”

Digital photography as a non-invasive, simple, objective, reproducible, and practical imaging modality has been investigated for the wound healing assessment over the last three decades, and now has been widely used in clinical daily routine. Advances in the field of image analysis and computational intelligence techniques along with the improvements in digital camera instrumentation, expand the applications of standardized digital photography in diagnostic dermatology such as evaluation of tumours, erythema, and ulcers. A series of digital images taken at regular intervals carries the most informative wound healing indexes, color and dimension, that may help clinicians to evaluate the effectiveness of a particular treatment regimen, to relieve patient discomfort, to globally assess the healing kinetics, and to quantitatively compare different therapies; however, the extent of underlying tissue damage cannot be fully detected. This paper is an introductory review of the important investigations proposed by researchers in the context of clinical wound assessment. The principles of wound assessment using digital photography were shortly described, followed by review of the related literature in four main domains: wound tissue segmentation, automated wound area measurement, wound three dimensional (3D) analysis and volumetric measurement, and monitoring and evaluation of wound tissue changes during healing.
