The CIA Lab had four new manuscripts accepted for publication in Proceedings of SPIE Medical Imaging to be held in San Diego in February 2014. “Segmentation and Automated Measurement of Chronic Wound Images: Probability Map Approach” by Fauzi, Khansa, Catignani, Gordillo, Sen, and Gurcan, details a new method to characterize chronic wounds containing granulation, slough, and eschar tissues. The work is innovative due to defining wound characteristics specific to the probability map used for segmentation, the computationally efficient regions that grow with channel selection, and the ability to auto-calibrate the measurements based on the content of the image. The computer accuracy was 82.4% while the inter-reader agreement was 85.5%. This project was done in collaboration with the Department of Plastic Surgery-The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Department of Internal Medicine-The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Department of Surgery-The Ohio State U...
