Abstract: Disclosed is a system for wound care management of the diabetic foot. In an embodiment, the system uses a scanner configured to obtain a two-dimensional image of the plantar surface of the foot. This system also includes a wound measurement tool to measure the diameter and volume of the diabetic ulcer. Additionally, this system includes an image processor that converts a two-dimensional image of the diabetic ulcer into a three-dimensional map. The system also includes a measurement calculator, using the three-dimensional map, that accurately measures the diameter and volume of each ulcer on the plantar of the foot. All scans are stored indefinitely and can be compared in a side-by-side setting, at the same time analyzing and comparing progress of the ulcer treatment in a wireframe mode. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Abstract: In a cost-efficient method and arrangement for 3D digitization of bodies and body parts, which produces dense and exact spatial coordinates despite imprecise optics and mechanics, the body to be digitized is placed on a photogrammetrically marked surface, a photogrammetrically marked band is fitted to the body or body part to be digitized, and a triangulation arrangement comprised of a camera and a light pattern projector is moved on a path around the body. By a photogrammetric evaluation of the photogrammetric marks of the surface and the band situated in the image field of the camera, and of the light traces of the light projector on the marked surface and the marked band, all unknown internal and external parameters of the triangulation arrangement are determined, and the absolute spatial coordinates of the body or body part are established from the light traces on the non-marked body with high point density and high precision without any separate calibration methods.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for supplying a customer with a footbed. A kiosk provides measurements of a consumer's feet with a self-guided display by using both pressure measurements and scanning of the feet. The measurement information is converted to identify which of the preselected and stocked components proximate the kiosk can be combined to provide an appropriate footbed for the consumer.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining contours of a patient's foot. The apparatus includes an alignment section that orientates the foot relative to an optical imaging section. The alignment section includes at least one support member located proximate a focal length of the imaging section, that engages the plantar surface substantially only in the immediate area of the fifth metatarsal head of the foot. The support generates a dorsally-directed load that locks the midtarsal joint. The alignment section further includes a heel stirrup and a laser beam or other reference line for aligning the second metatarsal head with the distal one-third of the lower leg, to place the subtalar joint in a neutral condition. The foot is thus suspended in space such that the imaging section is able to obtain an accurate measurement of the plantar surface without distortion of the soft tissues or bone structure of the foot.

Abstract: A flat transparent overlay for measurement of equine foot x-rays employs a flat lower edge for alignment with a ground surface and an anterior edge angled to approximate a hoof distal wall. A first sight ring positions the tool over a tip of an image of a third phalanx. Six interrelated scales are provided for measurement of the palmar cortex, distal sole thickness, break-over distance and coronet band to extensor process distance, and in conjunction with a second site ring, center of rotation and palmar sole thickness. A first protractor element is centered posterior on the first sight ring for measurement of the palmar angle. A dual scale extends from the angled anterior edge portion with a measurement line for measurement of the hoof-lamella zone. A second protractor element is posterior to and centered on the second sight ring for measurement of a pastern angle.

Abstract: This disclosure provides for an impression scanner system having improved calibration having a housing and a calibration plate of known geometry. The calibration plate has a plurality of different shapes thereon. The system also has a radiation source for emitting radiation towards the shapes on the plate and a surface for reflecting images created by the radiation on the shapes. A sensor for receiving the images of the shapes as the plate moves relative to the housing is also provided. A processor compares known geometry of the plate to the images received by the sensor and calibrates the sensor based upon the known geometry and images to reduce system aberration and distortion
