Winthrop Professor Fiona Wood , Director of the Burn Service of WA, is currently collaborating with Yih Miin Liew , PhD student at the Optical + Biomedical Engineering Laboratory (OBEL).

They are developing a new technique for scar assessment using optical imaging. The goal of the research is to use the high resolution scans of patient's scars to help doctors choose the best course of treatment for each individual patient.

The group plans to commence research scans at Royal Perth Hospital in 2010.

Yih Miin and Fiona are pictured here with Winthrop Professor David Sampson, head of OBEL and Alynka Youngman during a scanning session.
