Utilizing Visual and Thermal Images for the Measuring and Monitoring of External Wounds
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating "gold standard" LxW manual ruler measurement technique, WMMS ImageReview software's LxW measurement technique, and 2 other interventions for External Wounds Measured for Length by Width Using a Ruler. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to test wounds found on the outside of the body surface with an investigational medical imaging device that collects visual pictures and thermal digital pictures of the wound site. The investigational device has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The medical imaging device is non-contacting and is non-radiating (delivers no energy to the body). It passively collects pictures (typical digital color photographs)and thermal pictures (black and white digital photographs of heat at the body surface.)

Timeline
Interventions
Currently, the "gold standard" LxW manual ruler measurement technique is used for measuring the area of an external wound. The LxW is measured by measuring the longest length (head to toe) times the widest width (perpendicular to the length).
This software measurement technique is part of tthe WMMS and also measures the external wound LxW by the longest length (head to toe) times the widest width (perpendicular to the longest length).
This is a measurement technique of the ImageReview software that enables the user to trace the perimeter edge of the wound's visual image.
This measurement technique is a feature of the WMMS, utilizing the visual external wound trace and overlaying it onto the thermal wound site. From the thermal overlay, variation data such as the differences in the thermal intensities (gradient), mean, and the mode of the thermal wound bed can be measured.
