BURNCASE 3D: A RESEARCH PRODUCT FOR EFFECTIVE AND TIME-SAV- ING DOCUMENTATION OF BURN INJURIES

The research project BurnCase is being carried out at the Upper Austrian Research Department for Medical-Informatics in Hagenberg. The project partners are the Polytechnic University of Hagenberg and the AUVA Unfallkrankenhaus Linz. The project’s goal is the development of a software system that supports and enhances the documentation and diagnosis of human burn injuries, thus alleviating the large variations between surgeons regarding approximation of the size and depth of burn injuries. The problem is that the results of injured surface approximation vary enormously, depending on the surgeon’s experience and the subjectivity of the approximation process. The software system BurnCase 3D Core is intended to simplify and support the approximation process as well as to offer profound support for documentation and management purposes in hospitals, especially in therapy centres for burn injuries. Another problem in modern burn care is the large variety in quantity and quality of surveyed data between different burn units, as also the lack of mechanisms for exchanging documented data. To address this problem, BurnCase 3D Core offers the possibility of comprehensive documentation of a burn case. The strength of BurnCase 3D Core is the intuitive three-dimensional graphic interface (compare Coomans) that provides direct interaction with a virtual model of the patient’s body. Thus, representations of injured regions can be transferred onto this model by using standard input devices like the mouse and then enhanced by modern software technologies involving graphic interaction, complete database support, and analysis methods. One of the main goals is to provide a user interface which is practicable in a surgeon’s daily use.
