Abstract

 

This talk shows how mathematics has been used to help doctors assess the quantity and quality of healing in wounds. Previously there had been no real measurable means to assess such healing. This talk shows how the mathematically based analysis of images of the skin is important in monitoring the progress of disease and presents a challenge to image processing techniques improving on the current use of expert opinion.

 

No charge is made to attend meetings, non-IMA members are welcome

 

 

The talk is coordinated by East Midlands Branch Secretary, Dr Stephen Hibberd, School of Mathematical Sciences, University of Nottingham, email: stephen.hibberd@nottingham.ac.uk.
