Ages 18 and older · All sexes

Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients with a chronic wound on the foot that is presumed to be due to arterial insufficiency.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients with a massive deep tissue infection.

About the study

This pilot device trial aims to test the feasibility of using photoacoustic images to monitor tissue perfusion and to guide post-surgical wound treatment. Through this pilot study, the investigators will test the feasibility, identify any practical issues, and acquire essential information (e.g., drop-off rate, variation in wound healing rate) to guide future large-scale studies.
