TY - JOUR AU - Deda, Anna AB - robert.koprowski@us.edu.pl Department of Biomedical Background: Efficacy and safety of various treatments using fractional laser or Computer Systems, Faculty of radiofrequency depend, to a large extent, on precise movement of equipment head Computer Science and Materials Science, University of Silesia, ul. across the patient’s skin. In addition, they both depend on uniform distribution of Będzińska 39, 41-200, Sosnowiec, emitted pulses throughout the treated skin area. The pulses should be closely Poland adjacent but they should not overlap. Pulse overlapping results in amplification of Full list of author information is available at the end of the article irradiation dose and carries the danger of unwanted effects. Methods: Images obtained in infrared mode (Flir SC5200 thermovision camera equipped with photon detector) were entered into Matlab environment. Thermal changes in the skin were forced by CO RE laser. Proposed image analysis and processing methods enable automatic recognition of CO RE laser sites of action, making possible to assess the correctness of performed cosmetic procedures. Results: 80 images were acquired and analyzed. Regions of interest (ROI) for the entire treatment field were determined automatically. In accordance with the proposed algorithm, laser-irradiated L areas (ROI) were determined for the treatment area. On this basis, error TI - Image analysis and processing methods in verifying the correctness of performing low-invasive esthetic medical procedures JF - BioMedical Engineering OnLine DO - 10.1186/1475-925X-12-51 DA - 2013-06-09 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/image-analysis-and-processing-methods-in-verifying-the-correctness-of-bx2SPNoao2 SP - 1 EP - 15 VL - 12 IS - 1 DP - DeepDyve ER -
