Patients with chronic wounds will be imaged using 2 imaging devices. Two types of images will be acquired with each device, a standard photograph (ST-image) and a fluorescence image (FL-image). The images captured with the 2 imaging devices will be compared off-line by many interpreters to assess for any differences in the images that would alter a clinical decision.

Concordance
The inter-reader concordance of the iX and PID FL-images together is not less than the inter-reader concordance of the iX FL-images alone.
Time frame: 2 months
Sensitivity and Specificity
Sensitivity and specificity for detection of moderate/heavy bacterial load of PID FL-images to be equal to or greater than that of i:X FL-images when validated by microbiology gold truth
Time frame: 2 months
