The use of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) in wound healing

Abstract

A hyperspectral imaging system (HsI), described previously, was utilized to evaluate and monitor wounds and their healing surgery and post-operatively. Briefly, the system consists of a DLP® based spectral light modulator providing active spectral illumination that is synchronized with a digital focal plan array for collecting spectroscopic images that are processed for mapping the percentage of oxyhemoglobin at each detector pixel non-invasively and at near video rates ~8 chemically encode images per second.
