Method and system for analyzing perfusion parameters of skin

A system for analyzing perfusion parameters of skin, the system comprising:

• an imaging system configured to acquire a multi-band reflectance image of skin;
• at least one processor coupled to the imaging system to receive the multi-band reflectance image of the skin of a subject;
• and
• at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
• delineate at least one clinically relevant spatial component of the multi-band reflectance image of the skin, wherein the at least one clinically relevant spatial component has substantially homogenous optical properties;
• perform reconstruction on the at least one clinically relevant spatial component using a corresponding at least one tailored reconstruction algorithm, respectively, wherein the at least one tailored reconstruction algorithm is specific to the at least one clinically relevant spatial component;
• output estimated perfusion parameters of the skin for the at least one reconstructed clinically relevant spatial component from the at least one tailored reconstruction algorithm;
• and
• a display configured to display the estimated perfusion parameters for the at least one reconstructed clinically relevant spatial component in a spatially resolved manner.

• output estimated perfusion parameters of the skin for the at least one reconstructed clinically relevant spatial component from the at least one tailored reconstruction algorithm;
• and
• cause a display of the estimated perfusion parameters for the at least one reconstructed clinically relevant spatial component in a spatially resolved manner.
