A prospective study comparing the FLIR ONE with laser Doppler imaging in the assessment of burn depth by a tertiary burns unit in the United Kingdom

摘要

Laser Doppler imaging (LDI) is the ‘gold standard’ tool for the assessment of burn depth. However, it is costly. The FLIR ONE is a novel, mobile-attached, thermal imaging camera used to assess burn wound temperature. This study compares the FLIR ONE and LDI in assessing burn depth and predicting healing times.
