System and method for identifying fluid retention in a body part
A method of identifying fluid retention in a body part of a patient by using 3-D imaging to obtain actual measurements of the body part, providing a first volumetrically-related model based on the actual measurements, calculating a second volumetrically-related model to obtain estimated measurements...

| Zusammenfassung: | A method of identifying fluid retention in a body part of a patient by using 3-D imaging to obtain actual measurements of the body part, providing a first volumetrically-related model based on the actual measurements, calculating a second volumetrically-related model to obtain estimated measurements of the body part of the patient based on a mathematical relationship between measured parameters of the patient, wherein the mathematical relationship provides an estimate based on population-derived parameters; and comparing the first and second volumetrically-related models to provide a volumetrically-related difference which correlates with a degree of fluid retention. |
