Non-contact, Intra-operative & Post-operative Device, Evaluation of Tissue Transfer Flaps After Reconstructive Surgery.
Tissue transfer flaps are a method of moving tissue from a donor location to a recipient
location. In the case of a free tissue transfer flaps, the blood vessels to the transferred
tissues are detached and then re-attached to different arteries and veins at the recipient
site. The process of reconstructive surgery using tissue transfer flaps is not without
complications. These complications may include acute arterial or venous occlusion, as well as
the development of late complications such as fat necrosis and flap atrophy.

The researchers developed a safe, non-contact, intra-operative and post-operative device
called Modulated Imaging, can detect changes in a flap's optical properties and can correlate
with arterial or venous occlusion or with the development of fat necrosis or flap atrophy.
