3D Wound Imaging

Visualizing nonhealing wounds during treatment planning can be challenging. Adrian Wyllie, MD, MBA, CWSP, FAPWH, and Vadim Kurbatov, MD, PhD, at Complete Wound Care in Wallingford and Milford, Connecticut, use 3D wound imaging technology to measure nonhealing wounds and produce detailed images.

What is 3D wound imaging?

3D wound imaging produces detailed pictures of wounds in three dimensions. Complete Wound Care uses the eKare inSight 3D wound management platform, which has artificial intelligence (AI)-powered technology for fast, accurate results.

The system’s computer vision technology captures and analyzes wound images with unrivaled detail and clarity.

This system is entirely noninvasive and non-contact. It offers a better way of obtaining wound data using a standardized wound imaging and assessment approach. Wound information eKare insight technology provides includes:

• Tissue composition
• Length
• Width
• Depth
• Area
• Volume

eKare has also developed a new imaging solution for circumferential wound scanning. Circumferential wounds extend around a body part, such as an arm or the torso. They can be hard to evaluate and monitor.

How does 3D wound imaging work?

The eKare inSight 3D wound management system operates on mobile devices for ease of use and accessibility. Complete Wound Care providers use the device to take photos just as they would with a smartphone or tablet. They can use the device to magnify the wound up to four times.

3D wound imaging with inSight has a visual classification system. This allows your provider to categorize images of your wound to produce red, black, and yellow/tan colorations, highlighting different areas of the wound. For example, the deepest sections of a wound may be one color and shallower areas another.

The system also has built-in border delineation — automatically detecting and marking areas of interest for faster, more precise measurement. It provides feedback on image quality almost instantly, so your provider can see if they’ve taken the clearest possible picture.

What are the advantages of 3D wound imaging?

3D wound imaging is relatively new, but it has significant advantages over other imaging systems, such as:

• Single-photon emission computed tomography
• Magnetic resonance imaging
• Terahertz imaging
• Optical coherence tomography
• Near-infrared spectroscopy
• Laser Doppler imaging
• Spatial frequency domain imaging
• Thermal and fluorescence imaging

These diagnostic wound imaging technologies offer valuable information. However, they may not capture active alterations in the wound and can’t predict healing outcomes.

The eKare inSight 3D wound management system overcomes these drawbacks. It’s also easy to use and fully mobile, offering a convenient, cost-effective alternative to standard imaging diagnostics.
