Including vascular, pathological and imaging measurements and written by a trio of experienced clinicians, this volume is a vital knowledge update at the same time as promoting the role of taking measurements both in understanding and treating wounds.
Measurement of Wound Healing will update the knowledge base and promote the use of measurements in order to improve both understanding of wounds and their management. This book will feature well used vascular measurements, pathological measurements, imaging measurements and so on. There will be chapters on techniques/measurements that have much promise.This book is led by 3 experienced clinician scientists from different backgrounds who have successfully worked together on projects.

From the reviews:
The purpose is to enlighten medical practitioners in treating chronic ulcers based on the best clinical studies. The audience is internists, endocrinologists managing patients with diabetic ulcers, family practitioners, dermatologists, and surgeons. The editors have done a good job of providing a general overview of the pathophysiology of wound healing, how to assess ulcers objectively using standard clinical parameters and devices, and how to manage chronic wounds given the current state of the evidence.
