Abstract
Efficient wound assessment is essential for healthcare teams to facilitate prompt diagnosis, optimize treatment plans, reduce workload, and enhance patients' quality of life. In recent years, non-invasive techniques for aiding wound assessment, such as digital photography, 3D modelling, optical imaging, fluorescence and thermography, as well as artificial intelligence, have been gradually developed. This paper aims to review the various methods of measurement and diagnosis based on non-invasive wound imaging, and to summarize their application in wound monitoring and assessment. The goal is to provide a foundation and reference for future research on wound assessment.
