1. A system for analyzing tissue healing, said system comprising:
- an image capture device;
a reference color marker of a predetermined color;
a processing unit in communication with said image capture device, and configured to;
receive image data from said image capture device, the image data including image of a tissue site and said reference color marker;
adjust at least one image parameter based on at least a portion of the image of said reference color marker to normalize the image data; and
present the normalized image data to a clinician.

Abstract
A system and method for analyzing tissue healing may include an image capture device and a reference color marker of a predetermined color. A processing unit may be in communication with the image capture device, and be configured to receive image data from the image capture device. The image data may include image of a tissue site and the reference color marker. At least one image parameter may be adjusted based on at least a portion of the image of the reference color marker to normalize the image data. The normalized image data may be presented to a clinician.

21. A method for analyzing tissue healing, said method comprising:
-
capturing an image including a tissue site;
enabling a clinician to define multiple regions of the image of the tissue site, at least two of the regions of the image defining tissue type at different stages of tissue healing;
calculating an area of each of the at least two regions of the image defining tissue type at different stages of tissue healing; and
displaying the calculated areas. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
