Validity and reliability of total body volume and relative body fat mass from a 3-dimensional photonic body surface scanner.

Three-dimensional photonic body surface scanners (3DPS) feature a tool to estimate total body volume (BV) from 3D images of the human body, from which the relative body fat mass (%BF) can be calculated. However, information on validity and reliability of these measurements for application in epidemi...
