Abstract: Background: Peripheral vascular diseases have a significant impact on functional quality of life. Previous research has demonstrated the complex, limiting and costly economic implications of these conditions such as lower limb ulceration ch...

In this chapter, we discuss the working principle of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), its capabilities for imaging skin, and how the technique is applied in clinical settings as well as in lab-based environments. Two case studies are then presente... Read More about Optical Coherence Tomography to determine and visualize pathological skin structure changes caused by diabetes.

Application of tissue mechanics to clinical management of risk in the diabetic foot (2021)
Book Chapter

The effect of diabetes on the body’s connective and supporting tissues is varied and progressive, often accelerating the effects of the aging process. Tissue function is eventually compromised as a result of structural disruption, leading to increase...
