ABSTRACT:
An objective medical analysis system for assessing the severity of traumas to human skin, particularly for objectively analyzing the degrees of burns to human skin, utilizing computerized analysis of a video recording of the kinetics of the change in appearance of the traumatized skin site and the generation of a two-dimensional color-coded map on an associated video monitor for diagnostic use by the physician. Specifically relating to burns, the system utilizes computerized analysis of a video recording of the kinetics of the appearance of a tracer dye within a burn site and subsequently generates a color-coded two-dimensional video map of the human skin burn site with differentiation between untraumatized normal skin and first degree, second degree, and third degree burns for use to aid the physician in burn diagnosis.
