Detection of Suspicious of Diabetic Feet using Thermal Image
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 6
Abstract
Diabetic foot is a chronic disease that occurs due to increased glucose levels, in addition to being the result of poorly controlled diabetes. In this case, the affected foot increases in temperature, because it contains accumulated blood. According to the Alianza para el Slvataje del Pie diabético en el Perú reported that currently has been increasing the cases of diabetic foot being 8% of the Peruvian population suffering from diabetic foot. Many research papers mention that the temperature difference of both feet has to be minimal due to the homogeneous distribution of the body, but when the temperature of the feet is higher than 2.2 ° C degrees with respect to the other foot, it is an indicative of diabetic foot. That is why the thermal evaluation of feet with suspected diabetic foot was raised in this research to prevent future damage or even amputation of the foot; first a thermal image of both feet is captured using the FLIR ONE Pro thermal camera following a temperature range protocol, then the images are processed in the MATLAB software in order to obtain the zones where the variations are greater or equal 2.2 degrees of temperature and finally superimpose it on the foot with higher temperature to determine the area where the highest temperature was detected. It was obtained as results, that patients with diabetic foot do not have sensitivity in both feet, which will indicate us as a result and in addition to the difference in temperature between both feet which is a possible diabetic foot.
