A method of guiding debridement of a wound with an imaging system comprises positioning an excitation light source of an imaging system relative to a wound and illuminating the wound with excitation light to cause the wound to emit fluorescence. The method also comprises positioning an emissions filter over a portion of a mobile communication device and aligning the emissions filter with an image sensor of a camera of the mobile communication device. The method further comprises positioning the mobile communication device to align a field of view of the camera with the illuminated wound to detect the fluorescence emitted by the illuminated wound with the image sensor, viewing the fluorescence emitted by the illuminated wound in real time, and while viewing the fluorescence emitted by the wound in real time, debriding the wound to remove bacteria from the wound. The fluorescence is indicative of a presence of bacteria.
