Imaging techniques for diabetic foot ulcers

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates different imaging methods for measuring diabetic foot ulcers during a single appointment. Participants will have their foot ulcers measured and photographed using various techniques, including smartphone and thermal cameras. The study aims to compare the effectiveness of these imaging methods in capturing ulcer size. Demographic data will also be collected from medical records to analyze potential correlations. The entire procedure is expected to take between 15 and 45 minutes, with no long-term follow-up required.
