Assessing Burn Severity with Imaging

This study is looking at a new way to measure how severe and widespread burn injuries are using a special camera system called Spatial Frequency Domain Imaging (SFDI). The study will use two versions of this system, Clarifi and m-Clarifi, to see if they can accurately tell how deep a burn is in people with thermal burns. This information is important for doctors to plan the best treatment. The study is open to adults aged 18 and older with any type of thermal burn. Researchers will measure a specific SFDI value (Scattering Parameter) at the burn sites to see if it helps assess burn depth. The study aims to enroll 15 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an observational study, meaning researchers will collect information without giving a specific treatment. It aims to enroll 15 participants.
What's involved
You would have Spatial Frequency Domain Imaging (SFDI) scans taken at specific times from when you join the study up to 21 days later.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your burn injuries will be assessed using imaging from when you join the study up to 21 days later.

  • Mean SFDI Scattering Parameter (mm-¹) at Burn Injury Sites Using Clarifi and m-Clarifi Imaging SystemsFrom enrollment to 21 days

    This outcome will report the mean value of the scattering coefficient (μs'), a quantitative SFDI-derived biomarker that correlates with burn depth, measured at specified time points (Day 0, 3, 7, 14, and 21) using the Clarifi and m-Clarifi imaging systems. Higher scattering values are associated with deeper tissue damage.
