Thermal Imaging to Predict Surgical Wound Healing
Part of Cancer, Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses thermal imaging (a camera that detects heat patterns on skin) to predict how well skin wounds will heal after surgery to remove suspicious or cancerous skin lesions. The goal is to identify which patients might have healing problems early so doctors can provide extra care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You need surgery to remove a suspicious or confirmed cancerous skin lesion under local anesthesia (numbing medicine)
- You are willing to give informed consent to participate
- You do not have diabetes (type 1 or type 2)
- You do not have ongoing kidney problems or blood vessel circulation issues
- You have not had radiation therapy, long-term steroid use, or immunosuppressant medications

This study uses a thermal imaging camera (a heat-sensing picture) to help doctors assess chronic ulcers and track how they heal over time. It may help identify differences in blood flow and healing patterns, supporting better wound care.
This study tests if a special camera that detects heat (infrared thermography) can help doctors quickly identify bone or joint infections in children. If successful, it could lead to faster, painless diagnosis without extra blood tests or scans.
This study tests if a special heat-sensing camera can predict whether a nerve block will work for children having hernia surgery. If successful, this could help doctors know right away if the block is effective.
This study tests a special camera that takes pictures of burns to help doctors see how deep they are. It is for people with recent heat burns on their head, hands, or feet, and aims to improve how doctors decide on treatment.
This study tests whether shining a special infrared light on diabetic foot ulcers can help them heal faster. It may be an option if you have a diabetic foot ulcer that hasn't healed in 30 days.
This study collects thermal (heat) images of the feet of people with diabetes who have had a healed foot ulcer. The goal is to see if these images can help prevent future foot problems.
