Wound, Wound of Skin
Conditions
Brief summary
Evaluation and characterization of autofluorescence signals of tissue in and around wounds as identified by MolecuLight fluorescence image.
Detailed description
Evaluate and characterize autofluorescence signals of tissue components in and around wounds identified by MolecuLight FL images using a point spectrometer. The fluorescence spectroscopy data will yield quantitative spectral information, including the relative intensity and emission peak of the biological autofluorescence signatures.
