Reflection-optical multispectral imaging method for objective determination of burn depth.
We present a noninvasive imaging method for objective determination of the depth of burn wounds. The method is easy to use and enables even the nonspecialized physician to determine the burn depth at a very early time and to make available an objective documentation for quality management.
