Detaljeret beskrivelse
Diabetic foot ulcers are a major burden on the healthcare system, and it is highly desirable to develop a practical, reliable, non-invasive means of diagnosing, assessing and measuring wound healing, so as to provide wound care specialists with key data with which to make effective decisions for clinical management.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a novel technique of imaging of cutaneous tissue. Using low-power infrared light, it is a non-invasive in-vivo imaging technique which provides resolution of <10microns to a depth of 1 - 1.25 mm in skin, (adequate to resolve capillaries) utilizing the optical scattering characteristics of tissue to provide imaging contrast.
This open, non-randomised, observational study will assess the feasibility of using OCT to diagnose chronic diabetic foot ulcers. One cohort of 15 patients will be scanned over a 16 week period and results studied to determine whether there is an association between rate of wound healing and OCT measurements.

Correlation of OCT Measurement of blood vessel density with rate of wound healing
Tidsramme: 16 weeks
|
Pearson's coefficient of correlation between the OCT measurement of blood vessel density (fraction of the imaged skin volume in the upper 0.5 mm of tissue that is comprised of vessels with detectable blood flow) and the rate of wound healing (defined as the magnitude of reduction in measured area of the wound per 4 week period), as an average across all trial subjects and all measurement points during the trial. Pearson's coefficient > 50% signifies a positive result. |
