Burns are a prevalent and burdensome critical care problem. The priorities of specialized
facilities focus on stabilizing the patient, preventing infection, and optimizing functional …

We present a review of short-wave infrared (SWIR, defined here as∼ 1000 to 2000 nm)
spectroscopy and imaging techniques for biological tissue optical property characterization …

Spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) has witnessed very rapid growth over the last
decade, owing to its unique capabilities for imaging optical properties and chromophores …

Diffuse optical imaging probes deep living tissue enabling structural, functional, metabolic,
and molecular imaging. Recently, due to the availability of spatial light modulators, wide …

Thermal injury to skin and subcutaneous tissue is common in both civilian and combat
scenarios. Understanding the change in tissue morphologies and properties and the …

We present an automatic classification strategy for early and accurate assessment of burn
injuries using terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopic imaging. Burn injuries of different …

Significance: Chronic wounds affect millions of patients worldwide, placing a huge burden
on health care resources. Although significant progress has been made in the development …

The ability to phenotype wounds for the purposes of assessing severity, healing potential
and treatment is an important function of evidence‐based medicine. A variety of optical …

The fields of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering offer new therapeutic options to
restore, maintain or improve tissue function following disease or injury. To maximize the …

Accurate assessment of burn severity is critical for wound care and the course of treatment.
Delays in classification translate to delays in burn management, increasing the risk of …
