The invention relates to a system and a method for detecting a surface shape of a human or animal body surface. A plurality of magnetic field sensors (2) arranged relative to one another in a sensor field (1) is placed on a plurality of surface regions of the body surface. A magnetic field generator (7) generates a magnetic field in the vicinity of the sensor field, so that a plurality of surface signals belonging to the surface regions are generated by using the magnetic field sensors (2). The surface signals serve as position signals with regard to the orientation and position of the magnetic field sensors in the magnetic field, so that the surface shape of the body surface is determined from the plurality of position signals of the magnetic field sensors (2) by using a signal processing unit (5).

Methods, systems and computer readable media for computerized prediction of body parameters such as body fat percentage (BFP) and modeling of a subject (e.g., a human body) are described.

A guide apparatus in the form of two flexible strips marked with scales, arranged perpendicular and slidable with respect to each other is used for anatomical mapping and marking of buttocks, especially for the purpose of defining sites suitable for lateral injection of filler into the buttocks for the purpose of lifting the buttocks as a cosmetic objective.

A method for determining an ROI in medical imaging may include receiving first position information related to a body contour of a subject with respect to a support from a flexible device configured with a plurality of position sensors. The flexible device may be configured to conform to the body contour of the subject, and the support may be configured to support the subject. The method may also include generating a 3D model of the subject based on the first position information. The method may further include determining an ROI of the subject based on the 3D model of the subject.

To measure a body size with increased convenience, a body measurement device including a camera configured to capture an image that includes an RGB image and a depth image, a display, and a controller configured to acquire a source image that includes a skeleton image and a body line image of a user based on the captured image, acquire a body size including a body height based on the source image, and control the display to display the body size is provided.

Devices, systems, and methods for the localization of body lumen junctions and other intraluminal structure are disclosed. Various embodiments permit clinicians to identify the locations of intraluminal structures and medical devices during non-surgical medical techniques, by determining the conductance and/or cross-sectional area at a plurality of locations within the body lumen.

A laser based vascular illumination system utilizing a FPGA for detecting vascular positions, processing an image of such vasculature positions, and projecting the image thereof onto the body of a patient.

Systems, methods, and devices relating to a sensor array for use with a user's finger segment and which indirectly maps the topography of a surface under the finger segment. Each sensor array is worn on a user's finger segment and has multiple sensitive strain gauges as well a positioning sensor. The multiple strain gauges are deployed around the periphery or sides of the finger segment. Each strain gauge measures the deformation of the finger segment pad as the finger segment passes over the surface topography. The relative ratios of the deformation detected indicates the location of a feature or contact point on the topography relative to the group of strain gauges. The positioning sensor determines the array's orientation as well as its location relative to a predetermined global reference frame.

A scanner includes a camera, a light source for generating a probe light incorporating a spatial pattern, an optical system for transmitting the probe light towards the object and for transmitting at least a part of the light returned from the object to the camera, a focus element within the optical system for varying a position of a focus plane of the spatial pattern on the object, unit for obtaining at least one image from said array of sensor elements, unit for evaluating a correlation measure at each focus plane position between at least one image pixel and a weight function, a processor for determining the in-focus position(s) of each of a plurality of image pixels for a range of focus plane positions, or each of a plurality of groups of image pixels for a range of focus plane positions, and transforming in-focus data into 3D real world coordinates.

Provided herein is an adjustable fixture assembly for supporting an appendage of a patient, such as a foot and/or leg, in a desirable position to allow for a comprehensive scan of the appendage. The adjustable fixture assembly comprising a base, a support member, and a platform. A ball joint secures a first end of the support member to the based and a second end of the support member is coupled to the platform. The adjustable fixture assembly is configured to support the foot and/or leg of a patient on the platform, which is configured to pivot about three degrees of freedom relative to the base. The adjustable fixture assembly can optionally include a harness assembly for manually manipulating the position and orientation of the platform and a foot support assembly to engage with the heal of the foot to further support the patient's foot and/or leg on the platform.
