随着糖尿病负担的持续增加，治疗标准要求仔细跟踪伤口进展，临床医生越来越需要依赖伤口测量技术的技术进步来跟踪他们的治疗进展。本研究旨在确定一种新的三维伤口测量装置(3DWM)相对于激光辅助伤口测量(LAWM)装置和传统伤口测量方法的准确性。使用几个伤口模型，我们证明了3DWM设备测量伤口面积、深度和体积的方法与其他测试方法相似。当比较两种设备之间伤口测量的变化时，这一点尤其明显。在分析伤口测量时间和测量重复性时，这两种技术之间的差异是显而易见的。3DWM设备和LAWM设备之间的测量误差发生率显著降低。最后，与LAWM设备相比，3DWM设备的测量时间明显更快。总而言之，这些数据表明，3DWM设备为测量伤口愈合方面的变化提供了一种准确且可重复性的方法，类似于其他可用的技术。此外，3DWM设备的使用提供了更快和更一致的测量，这对临床应用和使用至关重要。
As the burden of diabetes continues to grow and treatment standards require careful tracking of wound progress, clinicians increasingly need to rely on technological improvements in wound measurement technologies to track the progress of their treatments. This study aims to determine the accuracy of a new three-dimensional wound measurement (3DWM) device against laser-assisted wound measurement (LAWM) devices and traditional methods of wound measurement. Using several wound models, we demonstrate that the 3DWM device measures wound area, depth and volume similarly to the other methods tested. This is especially apparent when changes in wound measurements were compared between the two devices. Differences between the two technologies were apparent when analysing wound measurement time and measurement repeatability. There was a significantly lower incidence of error in measurements between the 3DWM device and the LAWM device. Finally, the measurement time was significantly faster with the 3DWM device compared to the LAWM device. Together, these data demonstrate that the 3DWM device provides an accurate and reproducible method for measuring changes in wound healing similar to other available technologies. Further, the use of the 3DWM device provides a faster and more consistent measurement, which is critical for clinical application and use.
