The procedures for body size, shape, and composition assessment through commercially available solutions for three-dimensional optical imaging enable the rapid collection of accurate and reproducible data. Clinicians could implement the acquisition of innovative and useful biomarkers ("e-tape" measurements) in routine evaluations of patients to assist in characterizing their health status.
