A plethysmographic device for determining human body volume and body density
The measurement of total body volume (V) (excluding lung volume) together with total body mass (m) is required in order to determine body density (d = m/V). From this, and using certain simplifying assumptions, it is possible to derive body composition in terms of fat mass (FM) and fat free mass …

Three-Dimensional Body Volume Measurement From Two-Dimensional Images: Towards A Smartphone Application
… obesity, regular monitoring of metrics such as body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference has been found to result in improved health outcomes for patients. Three-dimensional (3D) scanners provide a useful tool to provide body measurements based on 3D images in obesity management. However, …

Use Of Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry Measurements To Evaluate Total Body Volume When Compared To Air Displacement Plethysmography For Evaluating Body Composition In A Four Compartment Model
<p>Intro: Body composition is an important metric to evaluate overall health. Having reliable body composition testing methods are critical to ensure that an individual is receiving correct data in which to base health, nutrition, and lifestyle decisions. With technological improvements, there are …

Vliv výběru typu a energie fotonového svazku na ozařovací plán při zevní radioterapii karcinomu děložního hrdla
… treatment plans were generated using the volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) technique. For every patient, plans were created using photon beam energies of 6 MV and 10 MV, both with and without a flattening filter (FF and FFF). The evaluated parameters included the volume of the body …

Form, function and flow in the plankton : jet propulsion and filtration by pelagic tunicates
… January 2006 through 2009. First, time-varying body volume was calculated by digitizing salp outlines from in situ video sequences. The resulting volume flow rates were higher than previous measurements, setting an upper limit on filtration capacity. Though each species possessed a unique …

An Investigation into Neuroendocrine Regulators of Excretory Organs in the Adult Disease-Vector Mosquito, Aedes aegypti
… ingest bloodmeals comparable to twice their body volume, resulting in considerable amounts of salts and water in excess, threatening the osmotic and ionic balance of their haemolymph. Like other insects, mosquitoes achieve strict regulation of their hydromineral balance through the …

Three-dimensional body scanning : a novel technique for body composition assessment
INTRODUCTION: Accurate body composition assessment is crucial for determining health consequences due to excess body fat (BF). While several techniques exist there are few that are accurate, non-invasive, fast, and comfortable for subjects. The Three Dimensional (3D) body scanner is a new body …

High-quality dense stereo vision for whole body imaging and obesity assessment
… range of population. Three-dimensional (3D) body imaging has become a new mean for obesity assessment. Moreover, it generates body shape information that is meaningful for fitness, ergonomics, and personalized clothing. In the previous work of our lab, we developed a prototype active stereo …

Exercise testing in healthy haemodialysis patients
… developed systolic hypertension. Total blood volume, total body water and plasma renin activity were measured at rest. It was found that the 'normotensive' patients had normal body volumes and normal to high plasma renin activity, while the hypertensive subgroup had increased volumes and …
