70: DFU Toolkit: A Real-World Tool for Automated Wound Size Measurement in Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center 

Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFUs) require frequent and accurate wound assessment to support clinical care and monitor healing. Traditional ruler-based measurements often involve direct contact with the wound surface, which can be invasive and increase infection risk.

We present DFU Toolkit, a web-based image analysis platform for end-to-end wound size measurement from real-world DFU images. The system accepts standard wound photographs, automatically segments ulcer boundaries, and estimates physical wound dimensions using a ruler scale embedded in the image, enabling non-contact measurement without manual tracing. Designed for practical use, DFU Toolkit provides an intuitive web interface that supports robust, reproducible wound measurement and facilitates scalable monitoring of DFU progression in both research and clinical settings.
