A system and method of performing high precision anatomical measurements of non-visible aspects of features of living organisms that include a visible contoured shape on the anatomical region of the living organism is disclosed. The system and method include an imager configured to take a series of images of an anatomical region of a living organism, such as a human patient in a clinic, doctor's office, or hospital. The system and method create a three-dimensional digital anatomical model of the exterior or visible part of the anatomical region that includes a target feature, such as a breast, nose, foot, or tumor. The target feature within the three-dimensional digital model is then isolated and manipulated to find measurements of non-visible aspects of the feature, such as mass, distances between visible points which pass through invisible tissues, e.g., depth and base width, volume, area, and surface angle measurements of the feature.
A method of performing anatomical measurements of an aspect of a feature in an anatomical region of a living organism, the feature having a contoured shape visible to the naked eye, the method comprising:
