Acute burn injuries are a severe form of trauma, leading to complex physiological disturbances and high rates of morbidity and mortality. While significant advances have been made in burn care, substantial challenges remain, particularly in accurately distinguishing between burn depths, which require tailored treatment strategies. Misestimating burn wound size by more than 10% can result in serious complications. To address this, we aim to develop ultrasound imaging tools powered by deep learning to enable real-time monitoring of burn wound healing, providing clinicians with valuable support in managing burn injuries effectively.
