Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The specialty of chronic wound care, “woundology”, developed in the absence of diagnostics, yet the recent rise in diagnostic imaging techniques and biomarker detection promises to revolutionize the practice of wound care and point-of-care techniques that identify bacterial virulence factors are under study. In addition, fluorescence imaging can detect bacterial load at the bedside and devices that rapidly evaluate tissue oxygenation and perfusion will also play a role in evaluating chronic wounds. This Special Issue presents new research and reviews the evidence for diagnostics in the burgeoning field of wound healing.
Dr. Thomas E. Serena
