Systems, Incorporated has developed analysis tools that
can be applied to the scanned images.
These tools include
multi-dimensional measurement comparisons between the pre-op and
post-op scans. This unique analysis capability is important in that
many of the measurements extracted by the Novaptus Systems' custom
measurement profiles cannot be replicated accurately using conventional
anthropometric techniques.
Periodic post-op
scan measurement comparisons are updated in the digital archive.
Multiple periodic post-op scan measurement comparisons are further
analyzed to show trends in surgical recovery or patient progress.
Many measurements
are only available using the extraction parameters available within
the scanner software. These unique measurements can offer valuable
insight into patient physical body changes.
Volumetric and
surface area calculations can also be produced. The results of these
calculations help verify medical reports indicating the amount of
tissue removed or added. Periodic volume calculations based on repeated
post-op scans yield important trends as to the direction of progress
related to the patient's body habitus.
