Optical Technologies for Diabetic Foot Management: A Comprehensive Guide

Authored by Gennadi Saiko, Robert L. Bartlett, and Jose L. Ramirez-Garcia, this book provides a single-source introduction to the use of optical technologies in managing Diabetic Foot complications.

Combining Medical Literature Review with Technology and Physics Overview

The book offers a unique blend of current medical literature review and an in-depth overview of the technology and physics behind optical technologies, making it an invaluable resource for healthcare professionals, clinical researchers, engineers, and decision-makers.

The authors focus on low-cost technologies, including:

• Hyperspectral imaging
• Thermography
• Endogenous bacterial fluorescence

These advanced diagnostic modalities can help detect Diabetic Foot disease at an earlier stage, improving patient outcomes.

Overcoming Barriers to Wide Clinical Adoption

Although some optical technologies are commercially available, they have not yet received widespread clinical adoption due to gaps in knowledge translation to mainstream medicine. This book aims to bridge this gap by providing practical illustrations and guidance.

Key Features and Benefits

The book:

• Reviews the current state of optical technologies for Diabetic Foot management
• Offers a practical guide with practical considerations and illustrations
• Supplies a 360-degree view of the combination of clinical information with technology background and primers on physics and engineering

This comprehensive guide will be of interest to a broad range of healthcare professionals, clinical researchers, engineers, and decision-makers, who are dealing with complications of diabetes.
