Abstract
A diagnostic tool including a first arm and a second arm, a top surface of the first arm comprising a graphical ranking guide comprising a plurality of images that graphically illustrate at least a portion of rank classifier indicia for a classification system comprising a plurality of ranks, each of the images corresponding to at least one of the ranks.
Claims18
A diagnostic tool comprising a first arm and a second arm, a top surface of the first arm comprising a graphical ranking guide comprising a plurality of images that graphically illustrate at least a portion of rank classifier indicia for a classification system comprising a plurality of ranks, each of the images corresponding to at least one of the ranks, wherein the classification system is an assessment procedure permitting a clinician to assign a value to an affliction based upon at least one measurable symptom or characteristic.
A diagnostic tool comprising a first arm and a second arm, a top surface of the first arm comprising a graphical ranking guide comprising a plurality of images that graphically illustrate at least a portion of rank classifier indicia for a classification system comprising a plurality of ranks, each of the images corresponding to at least one of the ranks, wherein:
- a top surface of the second arm comprises a descriptive ranking guide comprising a plurality of rank descriptors containing text describing at least a portion of the rank classifier indicia, each of the rank descriptors corresponding to at least one of the ranks;
- and
- a bottom surface of the first arm or the second arm comprises an adhesive.
A diagnostic tool comprising:
- a first arm and a second arm, a top surface of the first arm comprising a graphical ranking guide comprising a plurality of images that graphically illustrate at least a portion of rank classifier indicia for a classification system comprising a plurality of ranks, each of the images corresponding to at least one of the ranks;
- and
- an antimicrobial or antiseptic agent.
A diagnostic method comprising:
- obtaining a diagnostic tool comprising a first arm and a second arm, the first arm or the second arm comprising one or more of a graphical ranking guide and a descriptive ranking guide configured in accordance with a classification system, the first arm and the
- second arm respectively comprising a first ruler and a second ruler;
- disposing the diagnostic tool adjacent to an affliction;
- taking a picture comprising the affliction and at least a portion of the diagnostic tool;
- and
- utilizing the one or more of the graphical ranking guide and the descriptive ranking guide to determine a rank of the affliction within the classification system.
A diagnostic imaging tool comprising:
- an image capturing unit;
- a scale determination unit;
- a central processing unit;
- and
- memory for storing data and program code, the data including assessment tool image data, the program code executable by the central processing unit to perform the following steps:
- causing the image capturing unit to capture an image and store the image in the memory as a captured image;
- causing the scale determination unit to determine a scale associated with the captured image;
- generating a conformal assessment tool image having a scale that is substantially equal to the scale of the captured image;
- and
- generating an assessment image that comprises at least a portion of the assessment tool image and at least a portion of the captured image;
- wherein the assessment tool image comprises:
- a first arm and a second arm, the first arm comprising a graphical ranking guide comprising a plurality of images that graphically illustrate at least a portion of rank classifier indicia for a classification system comprising a plurality of ranks, each of the images corresponding to at least one of the ranks, and at least one of the arms comprising a ruler conformal to the scale associated with the captured image.
