Abstract
The present disclosure includes methods and systems to generate compression garment fit information from 3D images taken of one or more body parts of a patient indicated for application of compression therapy. The body parts can include legs or arms or other areas. Three-dimensional (“3D”) imaging information can be used to derive compression garment fit information, where the shape description information includes for each body part: tissue compressibility information, outer circumference information, and length information. Comparisons between corresponding body parts on a person can also be conducted.
