Studi literatur tentang teknik termografi menggunakan Thermochromic Liquid Crystal sebagai aplikasi pada penderita Neuropati Diabetik

Abstract

Diabetic Neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes with risk of foot ulceration. This hard-to-heal ulcer may lead to lower limb amputation. The use of temperature-monitoring technique, called thermography is one of the effective ways to prevent and reduce diabetic foot complication. The aim of this research is to do a clinical study about diabetic neuropathy foot patients, thermography, and image processing technique in thermography. The main method that will be discussed in this study is thermography using thermochromic liquid crystal. The benefit of this research is to provide information, ideas, and new perspectives especially in diabetic foot’s prevention strategies and risk treatment with thermography.
