| Abstract: | Many diabetic patients suffer from complications of their disease. Well-known complications are the so-called diabetic feet. In diabetic feet, the blood flow in the feet is reduced, resulting in poorly healing foot ulcers. A method to measure the blood flow is using the saturation of the feet. The saturation indicates the ratio between the bounded-hemoglobin (HbO2) and non-bounded hemoglobin (Hb). This saturation-value is the predictor for insensitive, risky spots on the feet; that are the spots where in proportion less HbO2 is present. To predict the change on foot ulcers, cameras / light can be used to define the saturation-value. Goal is to find a method to define the saturation in (diabetic) feet using hyper spectral imaging. The described method, spot spectrometry, is used to define a method that reaches this goal in a more controllable situation. |
