This book discusses optical technologies for Diabetic Foot management. It combines the current medical literature review with an overview of the technology and physics behind it. Thus, it is a single-source introduction to the topic. It can also be used as a reference source and practical guide for the use of technology. The particular focus is on low-cost technologies, including hyperspectral imaging, thermography, and endogenous bacterial fluorescence. Moving diagnostic modalities closer to the patient (e.g., primary care) allows the disease to be detected at an earlier stage, thus improving outcomes. However, while some optical technologies are available commercially, they have not received wide clinical adoption due to gaps in knowledge translation to mainstream medicine. This book aims to narrow this gap with practical illustrations. The book will be of interest to a broad range of healthcare professionals, clinical researchers, engineers, and decision-makers, who are dealing with complications of diabetes.
Key Features:
Reviews the current state of technologies
Provides a practical guide with practical considerations and illustrations
Supplies a 360-degree view of the combination of clinical information with a technology background and primers on physics and engineering
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This is a most interesting book that gives a good insight into what is increasingly becoming the future of medicine. The premise of the book is looking at the technology and physics behind the optical management of the diabetic foot. The book discusses the optical technologies for managing the diabetic foot and can be a used as a resource for an introduction to the topic of those optical technologies. It can be used as a reference source and practical guide to the technology available. A book of this type is a first, but it will not be the last. The book scrapes the surface of what will certainly become the future of how practitioners care for patients.
The book is written at the practitioner level, and there are any number of specialties that could benefit from reading this book, including healthcare professionals, clinical researchers, engineers, and decisionmakers. It could also be of value to orthopedists, podiatrists, vascular specialists, primary care providers, and advanced clinical practitioners such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants... The three authors have a collective background in physics, medicine (including wound care, emergency and critical care, and hyperbaric medicine), epidemiology, and biostatics and are well published.
Textbooks in medical technology are infrequent, and there is really no direct competitor to this book that I can think of."
