Abstract

Now-a-days the diabetic is the main problem and there is probability to form ulcers in the patient foot. If it is not identified at an early stage it may lead to severe damage leading to remove permanently the foot because the ulcer will completely damage the tissues in the organs. Consequently, a permanent physical handicapped will be the result, and foot Ulcers [1] may also results as a factor of stress on the foot, while walking. The foot ulcers are also caused due to the factors of age, gender, geographical location of patient residence and socioeconomic status also. The Foot Ulcers will be more in male patients than women patients. In this research, work we proposed a modified algorithm of Chan Vase to estimate the Diabetic Foot Ulcer. The DF may formate by the body temperature is also important criteria, and generally the foot temperature difference should not vary more than 2.2°C. This can be better analyzed by IR thermal imaging techniques.
