Outline of scanning process and determination of the ROI.  A Image of the 3D scanning process. The scanner is hand held and connected to a notebook, which is resting on a mobile cart. The scanner is equipped with a rechargeable battery, so a power outlet is not necessary as a power source. Thus, the scanner can be guided 360° around the lower extremity by the examiner. B Determination of three regions of interest (ROI) subdivided in segments of 2.5 cm: Lower leg : 15 cm proximal from ROI ankle (V1 to 6). Ankle : 5 cm proximal from the tip of the medial malleolus (V7 to 8; framed by yellow lines). Foot : whole foot distal to the malleolus fork (Volume 9).
