Thermal sequences database of the skin flaps in breast reconstruction and burns

This paper presents a database of Active Dynamic Thermography (ADT) thermal sequences gathered throughout 6 year study on ADT application in skin flap blood perfusion monitoring and burn wounds diagnosis. For skin flap monitoring the database comprises of data collected during three different breast reconstruction procedures. The patients were monitored pre, intra and post surgically within 90 days period. The sequences were used in skin flap parametric imaging aimed at reducing complications and improving flap perfusion. For burns investigation patients were monitored following an accident, at the 3-rd day and 21 days after.
