Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) or Diabetes is a disease characterized by a high sugar level in the blood. The foot is considered
as a distinct entity where most of the complication arises that often leads to lower extremity amputation.
Recently, the Pulse Magnetic Field (PMF) devices that use magnetic field intensity as stimulants are being
used to improve blood circulation among patients with peripheral vascular diseases (PVD). This study promotes
the use of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) devices in diagnosing and monitoring DM after the use of
PMF devices by providing a piece of biomedical evidence through a simulation approach on how to reconstruct
a 3-dimensional biological tissue shape models. The result showed that this simulation approach could be
of use in the actual reconstruction of a diabetic foot showing the absorption coefficient. NIRS device and the
biomedical images could be of use in places where radiographic imaging modalities are not accessible.
