Abstract: S1.00160 : Fluorescence Measurement of Burned Skin Tissues
Author:
Early removal of affected tissues from burn patients can
significantly
increase the success of their recovery, since burns continue to
spread and
damage surrounding tissues after hours of injury. The rationale
behind this
procedure is that burns trigger the body's immune system to
overreact,
causing additional damage. Therefore it is important to locate
and identify
the burn (area and thickness) so that it can be removed as
quickly as
possible. Our project explores the use of autofluorescence as a
tool to
identify the burned tissues from healthy ones. Here we present
that our
fluorescence results show differences between burned and normal
skin in both
its spectra and lifetime.
