Abstract:
Current techniques to evaluate the physical characteristics of the preoperative bariatric subject are generally limited to height, weight and perhaps anthropometric measurements such as waist and hips. By keeping the height and weight values, and using a commercial 3D whole body scanner and associated measurement software, one can provide a complete spacial evaluation of the subject, including excess volume, excess fat and fat density.
