Fluorescence imaging system for wounds

A method performed by one or more computer processors coupled to an ultraviolet (UV) light source and a camera device, the method comprising:

• obtaining, from at least one sensor, one or more environmental parameters capable of affecting a camera device's detection of fluorescent signals being emitted from a region of a human body in response to illumination from the UV light source;
• based on the one or more environmental parameters, adjusting, by the one or more computer processors, an operation on at least one of:
• the camera device, and the UV light source, to compensate for varied detection of the fluorescent signals caused by the one or more environmental parameters;
• receiving, from the camera device, fluorescent signals emitted from the region of the human body in response to the UV light source being activated to transmit UV light at a predetermined wavelength that is below a band of human visual perception;
• and
• based on the fluorescent signals detected by the camera device, generating, by the one or more computer processors, a fluorescent image of the region of the human body.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoding instructions operable to cause a data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining one or more environmental parameters capable of affecting a camera device's detection of fluorescent signals being emitted from a region of a human body in response to illumination from an ultraviolet (UV) light source;
• based on the one or more environmental parameters, adjusting an operation on at least one of:
• the camera device, and the UV light source, to compensate for varied detection of the fluorescent signals caused by the one or more environmental parameters;
• receiving, from the camera device, fluorescent signals emitted from the region of the human body in response to the UV light source being activated to transmit UV light at a pre-determined wavelength that is below a band of human visual perception;
• and
• based on the fluorescent signals detected by the camera device, generating a fluorescent image of the region of the human body.
