petrushka.googol Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Does human topology have any link to predisposition to disease ? If we capture the silhouette of a person in 3D we can identify issues like pectus excavatum, obesity, stunted growth etc. for obvious reasons ? If we superimpose this silhoutte onto a normal persons trace we can see the deviation and presumably identify disease hotspots. Does any 3D imaging software replicate this ?
