Abstract

Wound area assessment is one of the leading components of experimental or clinical research in surgery. The dynamics of reparative regeneration directly reflect the effectiveness of the treatment. However, the common approaches to measuring the area of a wound defect are characterized by subjectivity, which increases the risk of distortion and misinterpretation of the results obtained. In clinical practice, a simple multiplication of the length of the defect by the width is most often used, but in the case of a complex pattern, this method cannot be applied. On the other hand, the application of high-precision measurement by transferring a model of the wound to graph paper is extremely laborious, often ineffective with large numbers of observations. This led to an active search for new techniques to mitigate these shortcomings. Currently, various techniques have been proposed for assessing the area of wounds. Despite this, there is still no generally accepted method, and in modern research, we often observe manual calculations of parameters. Thanks to computerization and the development of digital technology, we got the opportunity to optimize work through high-performance computing technology, specialized software.
