Abstract :
The present article is a summary of noninvasive imaging techniques, which aim is to assess feet and legs´ ulcer formation and development. The objective is to early detect if an ulcer is about to develop to apply prompt treatment and reverse the process or at least lessen it. Hyperspectral imaging, plantar pressure imaging, photographic imaging and thermic imaging techniques are presented as a recapitulation of the state of the art of imaging techniques and their results.
