Abstract

This article attempts to assess the accuracy of a Structure Sensor — a low-precision 3D scanning device — to monitor the progression of venous leg ulcers. The study was conducted on 11 volunteers. Preliminary results indicate that this technology can be used as an effective tool in the ulcer diagnosis. Because the device is easy to use and its cost is low, it has the potential to enter everyday medical practice. Faster and simpler ways to perform diagnostics can help improve patients' quality of life and optimize treatment processes. This study opens up new perspectives on the use of low-precision 3D scanners in some areas of medicine.
