Exploiting Machine Learning Algorithms to Diagnose Foot Ulcers in Diabetic Patients

INTRODUCTION: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a complication of diabetes that affects most of the diabetic patients. It will cause open wounds on the foot. Untreated DFU will lead to amputation and infection, which results in removal of foot or leg. As diabetes is the major health pr...
