Abstract:

Non-invasive optical imaging techniques have been recently proposed for distinguishing between different types of tissue in burns generated in porcine models. These techniques are designed to assist surgeons during the process of burn debridement, to identify regions requiring excision and their appropriate excision depth. This paper presents a machine learning tool for discriminating between Viable and Non-Viable tissues in human injuries. This tool merges a supervised (QDA) with an unsupervised (k-means clustering) classification algorithms. This combination improves the Non-Viable tissue detection in 23.7% with respect to a simple QDA classifier.
