Comparation of Light Sensor on Biological Tissues for Wound Three-Dimensional Reconstruction

Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disease that affects over 450 millions individuals in the world. From this derives another disease among which is the diabetic foot syndrome, is the major complication. This syndrome can cause ulcers on the extremities of the patients, which because of a wrong classification and an inadequate treatment, ends in amputation or in death. Measurement of the wound originated from this syndrome specially the determination of the wounds depth, plays an important role in cases like diagnosis, classification and the treatment to apply. This article explores size depth of a wound using a light sensor over three different types of biological samples, one of them with meristematic plant tissue and the other samples with several types of biological tissues in order to observe the behavior of light on different tissues and to get closer to a usable on patients with diabetic foot syndrome. Data obtained in the experiment from the light sensor represent in a way close proximity, not only the depths wound and the possibility 3D reconstruction, but the different tissues present when the samples analyzed contained more than one tissue. The above mentioned gives a guide to subsequent investigations about the use of light in measurement and even for classification of diabetic foot ulcers.
