White Light Scanning to Aid Body Contouring: A Pilot Project

• Conditions: Body Dysmorphic Disorders; Lipodystrophy

• Registration Number: NCT01093950
• Lead Sponsor: Eastern Virginia Medical School

Brief Summary

A white light scanner can more accurately measure body contouring subjects than standard anthropomorphic methods.

Detailed Description

A 3-D digital body camera that employs non-intrusive white light phase profilometry and 24 coordinated charge-coupled cameras scans and produces a "point cloud" image of the subject. The result of the two-minute scan process is an accurate three-dimensional body model of the subject, consisting of over 1.2 million surface points. The point cloud is compressed to provide programmable measurement extraction profiles (MEP's) that automatically extracts linear and circumferential measurements. Subjects are scanned and anthropometrically measured pre-operatively, and at 3, 6 and 9 months post-op.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To study whether the scanner was faster and more accurate than anthropometric measurements.	9 months	The scanner and anthropometric measurements will be compared for accuracy and fidelity of collection. Anthropometric tape measurements will be compared to measurement extraction profiles provided by the scanner.Conclusions will be drawn based on the data collected.
