Planimetry helps to objectify the clinical method of wound healing. We have worked<br />

out an original method of non-contact identification of wound area in dynamics using<br />

modern digital technologies the photoplanimetry. The wound is photographed using<br />

digital camera at a certain distance. The file is copied then into computer memory<br />

(JPG format) and is loaded into photo processing program, which counts the wound<br />

size according to given scale in picsels and square centimeters. Photoplanimetry has<br />

been applied in 203 cases of trauma healings monitoring. The method has the<br />

following advantages: absence of direct contact with wound; high measuring<br />

precision; usability, high speed of data production and analysis; possibility to archive<br />

data; receipt of visual photo dynamics of healing process. Thus, photoplanimetry has<br />

proved to be an effective and progressive method, enabling satisfactory<br />

objectification and simplification of clinical monitoring of wound healing process.<br />
