Abstract
A method for determining healing progress of a tissue disease state includes receiving a thermal image of a target wound area from a thermal imaging system, processing the thermal image to construct an isotherm map of at least one selected area, determining a thermal index value from the isotherm map, correlating the wound thermal index value with a reference thermal index value representative of an injury-free state.
