Abstract
A method for preparing a clinical restraint for a subject, the method comprises scanning the portion of the subject to be restrained to produce a 3D image data set, generating a three dimensional replica of the portion of the subject from the 3D image data set and preparing a clinical restraint using the three dimensional replica. A scanning system for generating the 3D image data set comprising one or more projectors (6) and one or more cameras (8) in combination with an image processing device is also disclosed. The imaging aspects are also applied in the monitoring of the treatment of a patient, the manufacture and fitting of medical items, such as compression hosiery and the like, as well as in the fitting of garments and items of clothing.
