Digital volumetric measurements based on 3D scans of the lower limb: A valid and reproducible method for evaluation in lymphedema therapy
Exact quantification of volumetric changes of the extremities is difficult and often error prone. The aim of this study was to establish a standardized method based on 3D scans. Furthermore, this study tests the method in terms of reproducibility and evaluates volume changes after surgical therapy in patients suffering from lymphedema on the lower extremity.
