Gary Boas, Contributing Editor, [email protected]

The technique could advance diagnosis and management of this growing public health issue. Chronic wounds might not seem a major public health concern – they don’t often make the evening news – but the burden of treating them is significant and growing rapidly. Often masked as a comorbid condition, chronic wounds affect a surprising number of people: 6.5 million patients in the US alone. And because of the aging population and the increase in the incidence of diabetes and obesity – both of which are associated with such wounds – the prevalence and the...Read full article

    hyperspectral imaging
    Hyperspectral imaging is an advanced imaging technique that captures and processes information from across the electromagnetic spectrum. Unlike traditional imaging systems that record only a few spectral bands (such as red, green, and blue in visible light), hyperspectral imaging collects data in numerous contiguous bands, covering a wide range of wavelengths. This extended spectral coverage enables detailed analysis and characterization of materials based on their spectral signatures. Key...
