Zusammenfassung:	A system for monitoring and tracking swelling of a patient's limb includes a dressing, an imaging device, and processing circuitry. The dressing is positioned on a patient's limb over a wound and includes a pattern indicator. The imaging device is configured to obtain an image of the dressing and the pattern indicator. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain an initial image of the pattern indicator, obtain one or more subsequent images of the pattern indicator at later times, and determine a swelling change of the patient's limb using the initial image and the one or more subsequent images.
