Abstract

BACKGROUND: Chronic wound management is a global health care challenge affecting patient morbidity and quality of life while presenting a substantial economic burden. A critical limitation in effective wound care is the inability to accurately assess microvascular tissue health in real time. This review of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) imaging and its use in wound care emphasizes relevant clin…
