Article Synopsis
- Major complications of diabetes, such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and delayed wound healing, increase the need for early detection of at-risk tissue to improve management and reduce associated healthcare costs.
- The study compared the wound healing processes in diabetic rats and non-diabetic controls using imaging techniques, revealing that diabetic wounds healed more slowly and showed differing levels of blood components like oxyhaemoglobin and deoxyhaemoglobin.
- Increased levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in diabetic wounds were linked to heightened inflammation, which correlated with impaired wound healing, highlighting the potential of Spatial Frequency Domain Imaging (SFDI) as a non-invasive tool for assessing wound healing in diabetes.
