The use of three-dimensional scanning techniques in the medical field has become increasingly relevant. Laser projection systems have been applied onto human skin tissue in a variety of ways, especially in navigated surgery. However, a highly accurate and portable scanning system with the ability to analyze human tissue from multiple recording directions has yet to be developed and certified as a Class I medical device. This project aims to find the ideal setup of a portable, intuitive and certified scanning system of human tissue without the need of projective equipment. The scanning tool consists of a stereo camera by Northern Digital Instruments (NDI) and an infrared laser module. This paper presents the system’s ideal parameter settings while varying its accuracy when applying a laser module with wavelength of 850nm onto human tissue.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
