A portable 3D imaging camera from Eykona is being used in the field by U.K. troops at Camp Bastion in Afghanistan to assess the nature of wounds received by soldiers. The device is also being used at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, U.K., where military casualties are treated.
The Eykona camera builds a 3D image of a wound and utilizes software to measure the size and depth of the trauma with extreme accuracy, according to the company. Through the 3D models created using the device, medics can now be use definitive evidence to assess fresh wounds and understand if and how the wound is healing, allowing them to adjust the treatment plan efficiently, the vendor noted.
