“…This advantage could be utilized in a wide variety of digital shape outputs that can extend to 2D or 3D format with an electronic archiving of scans, which could be utilized in future analysis with improved software (Wells et al, 2015). After reviewing the literature, the 3D scanning method has been rarely used in cycling (Bullas et al, 2014;Daanen et al, 2016), but it has been frequently used in other sports (Schranz et al, 2010;Simenko & Vodicar, 2015) and other fields (Treleaven & Wells, 2007;Sims et al, 2012;Wells et al).…”

RAUTER, S.; VODICAR, J. & SIMENKO, J.Body asymmetries in young male road cyclists. Int. J. Morphol., 35(3):907-912, 2017. SUMMARY: An anthropometric analysis was conducted on 64 competitive young male road cyclists of different age categories (U17; U19; & U23 years of age). The purpose of the study is to find asymmetries between the left and right side of upper and lower limbs with the NX-16 (TC 2 ) 3D body scanner, which includes measurement of left and right upper arm girth, elbow girth, forearm girth, wrist girth, thigh girth, knee girth, thigh length, calf girth, and shin length. Body composition was measured by the bioelectrical impedance machine InBody 720 (Biospace Ltd.). Results of body composition measurements of male road cyclists showed that U17 and U19 youth road cyclist differed statistically in five (from 11) paired variables, and the U23 age group differed statistically in six (from 11) paired variables. All of the age groups differed statistically in elbow, forearm, and calf girth. The main finding of study was that as the age of a cyclist increases, there is a tendency to increase asymmetries between the left and right side of several body segments.

“…36 However, the potential contribution of whole-body photonic scanning to medical research and clinical practice remains relatively unappreciated. 37,38 Figure 1 illustrates examples of currently available hardware. Whole-body photonic scanners are similar to large photo booths, comprising an array of cameras or light sensors surrounding a central space where the subject stands for a few seconds.…”

Whole-body three-dimensional photonic scanning: a new technique for obesity research and clinical practice

2007

Information on body shape has long been used in categorizing and monitoring obesity. Alongside abdominal circumferences, recent studies further emphasize the value of indices such as sagittal diameter adjusted for thigh girth in categorizing cardiovascular risk. Whole-body three-dimensional photonic scanning has rapidly emerged as a new technology for digital anthropometric measurement. Photonic scanners capture sophisticated raw data on body surface topography in a few seconds, from which extensive body shape information can be extracted using computer algorithms. Photonic scanning now has the potential to play a key role in (1) categorizing obesity (including childhood screening), (2) ranking abdominal size and shape in large-scale epidemiological studies, (3) monitoring individual patients to evaluate treatment efficacy and (4) estimating surface area for drug dosage calculations. New statistical modeling techniques offer the opportunity to develop novel parameters of body shape for linking with biological health outcomes. The low cost, accuracy, ease of use and high acceptability of the technique make it highly suitable for both research and clinical applications.

“…The nature of this technology which are low cost, non invasive character and ease of use make it suitable for widespread clinical applications and for large epidemiological survey (Treleaven & Wells 2007). Moreover, for human clinical research and practice, it is important to precisely measure body composition, shape, surface area and volume that can be obtained through 3D body scanning technology (Soileau et al 2016).…”

“…With the advancement of 3D scanning technology, these obstacles can be overcome where 3D body scanner could provide more accurate and precise circumference measurements (Jaeschke et al 2015). These measurement data can also be stored on computer system and retrieved whenever required (Treleaven & Wells 2007). Apart from that, physical contact between the practitioners and the subjects can be minimized (Kuehnapfel et al 2016).…”
