Application of Near-Infrared Imaging NIR imaging can be used to find vessels under the skin
Application of Near-Infrared Imaging NIR imaging can be used to monitor wound healing and to find blood vessels under the skin + (λ = 685, 780, and 830).
Medical Near-Infrared Cameras Currently used NIR cameras are expensive
Objectives The purpose of this study is to manufacture a cheap near-IR camera and application for use with smart phones to test whether the device can detect areas of skin at risk for ulceration.
Near-Infrared Detection device NIR imaging can be used to find vessels under the skin NIR LEDs IR optical filter (720nm) Customized NIR 840nm LED illumination Wi-Fi wireless Rotating camera head
Clinical data Some images from Teresa
Results Results: Camera assembled and tested IRB protocol obtained Future work Continue clinical data collection Monitoring of the patients before and after receiving hyperbaric treatment Use multiple wavelengths
