Abstract
A method for determining a subject's Barix, comprising receiving a scanned image of a subject's body, defining the torso portion of the scanned image, calculating the torso height, the torso surface area, and the torso volume of the torso portion, and applying a mathematical formula to the torso height, torso surface area, and torso volume calculations to produce a Barix calculation.
Claims11
A method for quantifying a subject's degree of adiposity, comprising:
- receiving a scanned image of at least a portion of a subject's body;
- defining a torso portion of the scanned image;
- calculating a torso height for the defined torso portion;
- calculating a torso surface area for the defined torso portion;
- calculating a torso volume for the defined of the torso portion;
- dividing the torso height by a quotient of the torso volume and the torso surface area to quantify the subject's degree of adiposity as a Barix calculation;
- and
- displaying the subject's degree of adiposity as a Barix calculation.
