Abstract
Laser Doppler imaging (LDI) has been investigated and used since 1993 for the assessment of burn wounds. Here we describe tests that validate use of the dedicated colour palette, derived in Part 1, for a standardised interpretation of LDI images for prediction of healing time (<14 days, 14-21 days or >21 days). We also describe clinical and technical factors to be taken into account during LDI imaging and during image interpretation.
