Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods of fitting for pre-fabricated compression garments via digital imaging of a wearer body part and measurement of body part circumferences and, optionally, lengths therefrom. The present invention also relates to methods of generating a shape description derived from digital imaging of a patient body part or body area of interest and use of such shape description. Such shape description includes geometric information from which measurement information can optionally be derived. Included herein are methods for diagnosing and monitoring edema and other conditions in patients using shape descriptions acquired from a patient in need of such diagnosis and monitoring. The invention also includes use of the generated shape descriptions to make compression garments specifically configured for a patient's body part or body area. Compression garments generated from the generated shape descriptions are also included herein.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for selecting a pre-fabricated compression garment comprising:\n a) selecting, by a computer or a user, a wearer body part for fitting with a compression garment; b) acquiring digital images of the selected wearer body part; c) processing, by the computer, the acquired digital images, wherein the processing comprises generating a first wearer fit location circumference measurement for the wearer body part at a first wearer fit location and, optionally, a length for at least part of the wearer body part; d) providing dimension information for a plurality of pre-fabricated compression garments configured for the selected wearer body part, wherein:\n i) a first circumference measurement for each of the plurality at a first garment fit location and, optionally, a garment length measurement is derived the dimension information; and \n ii) the first garment fit location is at the same location on the wearer as the first wearer fit location; \n e) comparing each of the first derived garment fit location circumference measurements for each of the plurality with the first wearer fit location circumference measurement, and, optionally, the garment length measurement with the length for the wearer body part; and f) identifying at least one pre-fabricated compression garment having a first garment fit circumference measurement that is closest to the first wearer fit location circumference measurement and, optionally, the garment length measurement that is closest to the wearer body part length.
