A Computational Approach to 3-Dimensional Reconstruction Image of Diabetic Foot using the Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) after Magnetic Field Intensity Stimulation: Preliminary Study

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) or Diabetes is a disease characterized by a high sugar level in the blood. The foot is considered as a distinct entity where most of the complication arises that often leads to lower extremity amputation. Recently, the Pulse Magnetic Field (PMF) devices that use magnetic field intensity as stimulants are being used to improve blood circulation among patients with peripheral vascular diseases (PVD). This study promotes the use of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) devices in diagnosing and monitoring DM after the use of PMF devices by providing a piece of biomedical evidence through a simulation approach on how to reconstruct a 3-dimensional biological tissue shape models. The result showed that this simulation approach could be of use in the actual reconstruction of a diabetic foot showing the absorption coefficient. NIRS device and the biomedical images could be of use in places where radiographic imaging modalities are not accessible.
