The current practice of assessing wounds is highly dependent on visual examination and clinical judgment; these methods are highly subjective and leave great room for error. Objective measures of wound severity and healing are necessary tools that have been lacking in clinical practice. Long-wave infrared thermography (LWIT) has diverse applications that can be optimized to help detect and monitor wounds.
This work is a retrospective case series of pertinent patients encountered by the authors in clinical practice.
Nine cases were ultimately selected to best represent the multitude of benefits that can be seen with the utilization of LWIT devices.
Through this case series, we show the many advantages of LWIT devices. This technology is safe, noninvasive, and user friendly and, most importantly, gives objective, instant, and repeatable measurements.
目前评估伤口的方法高度依赖视觉检查和临床判断;这些方法主观性很强,存在很大的误差空间。客观衡量伤口严重程度和愈合情况的指标是临床实践中一直缺乏的必要工具。长波红外热成像技术(LWIT)有多种应用,可进行优化以帮助检测和监测伤口。
本研究是作者在临床实践中遇到的相关患者的回顾性病例系列。
最终选取了9个病例,以最好地体现使用LWIT设备所能带来的诸多益处。
通过这个病例系列,我们展示了LWIT设备的诸多优点。这项技术安全、无创且用户友好,最重要的是,能提供客观、即时且可重复的测量结果。
