The College of Applied Medical Sciences in Qurayyat registers a patent for image processing to measure the expandability of scar tissue.
Continuing its tradition of scientific excellence in innovation and patents, the College of Applied Medical Sciences in Qurayyat has secured a patent registration with the Australian Intellectual Property Office (IP Australia) for a group of female faculty members. The patent, titled "An Innovative Image Processing Approach for Measuring Scar Tissue Stretchability," presents a scientific innovation based on non-invasive digital image analysis for measuring scar tissue stretchability. It aims to develop a non-invasive method for assessing this stretchability using digital image processing.
The technique relies on grayscale analysis and pixel standard deviation calculations to measure collagen fiber organization. It seeks to provide an objective, accurate, and reproducible assessment, replacing traditional manual methods.
Furthermore, it aims to support clinical decision-making and improve rehabilitation and treatment outcomes for burn and scar patients.
