A University of California Davis-developed medical imaging scanner has produced the first 3D picture of the whole human body at once.
The scanner, known as the Explorer, is a combination of a positron emission tomography (PET) and X-ray computed tomography (CT). It is able to image the entire body using both scanning methods and can produce the image in as little as one second. Over time, Explorer can make videos that can track specially tagged drugs as they move through the body.
UC Davis scientists Simon Cherry and Ramsey Badawi developed the scanner and suggest that the technology could be used in a number of applications that include improving diagnostics, tracking disease progression and researching new drug therapies. Explorer was developed in a partnership with Shanghai-based United Imaging Healthcare and will manufacture the devices for a broader healthcare market.
“While I had imagined what the images would look like for years, nothing prepared me for the incredible detail we could see on that first scan,” Cherry, a professor in the UC Device Department of Biomedical Engineering, said in a press release. “While there is still a lot of careful analysis to do, I think we already know that Explorer is delivering roughly what we had promised.”
Images from the Explorer scanner were collected in a collaboration with United Imaging Healthcare and the Department of Nuclear Medicine at Zhongshan Hospital in Shanghai, China.
“The level of detail was astonishing, especially once we got the reconstruction method a bit more optimized,” Badawi said. “We could see features that you just don’t see on regular PET scans. And the dynamic sequence showing the radio tracer moving around the body in three dimensions over time was, frankly mind-blowing. There is no other device that can obtain data like this in humans, so this is truly novel.”
The UC Davis scientists thought of the total-body scanner 13 years ago.
They kickstarted the idea in 2011 with a $1.5 million grant from the National Cancer Institute that allowed them to gather a consortium of researchers and other collaborators. The team received a $15.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health in 2015 that allowed the team to team up with a commercial partner and to build the first Explorer scanner.
Cherry and the other researchers suggest that the Explorer scanner will have an impact on clinical research and patient care because of its higher-quality diagnostic PET scans. Explorer is able to scan up to 40 times faster than current PET scans and can produce a diagnostic scan of the whole body in 20 to 30 seconds.
With all of the imaging capabilities, Explorer is still able to scan with a radiation dose up to 40 times less than a current PET scan.
“The tradeoff between image quality, acquisition time and injected radiation dose will vary for different applications, but in all cases, we can scan better, faster or with less radiation dose, or some combination of these,” Cherry said.
The Explorer scanner would be able to evaluate what is going on in all the organs and tissues in the body at the same time, according to the researchers. Blood flow could be quantitatively measured and the scans could show how the body takes up glucose. The researchers suggest that the scanner could be used to study cancer that has spread beyond a single tumor site, inflammation, infection, immunological or metabolic disorders and many other diseases.
“I don’t think it will be long before we see at a number of Explorer systems around the world,” Cherry said. “But that depends on demonstrating the benefits of the system, both clinically and for research. Now, our focus turns to planning the studies that will demonstrate how Explorer will benefit our patients and contribute to our knowledge of the whole human body in health and disease.”
The researchers are currently working with UIH to get the first system delivered and installed in a leased space in Sacramento. The researchers hope to begin a research project and image patients using the Explorer scanner as early as June 2019.

Healthcare
Healthcare and medical sectors are filled with opportunities for 3D body scanning. From monitoring body shape and posture during pregnancy to making custom 3D printed prosthetics and more, body scanners are increasingly used for use in the medical field.
Body scanning can also be used to accurately monitor skin recovery in the case of burns or to detect skin diseases at an early stage, thanks to specific 3D imaging systems.
How do 3D body scanners work?
To obtain a full body scan, the person holds a pose for a few seconds, which is the time it takes for the 3D scanner to capture images from all angles. The 3D software then reconstructs the final 3D model of the body by “stitching” all of the images together, generating a highly detailed 3D model. Models can have colors and textures depending on the type of body scanner that’s used.
During the 3D capture process, the subject can either stand on a rotating turntable facing a fixed 3D body scanner, or stand still while the sensors located all around the body scanning booth capture images from all angles.
Closed 3D body scanning booth (or body scanning cabin)
A body scanning booth is a closed cabin that is rigged with cameras or 3D scanners. These full-body 3D scanners look a bit like regular fitting rooms.
Full body scanner with rotating platform or turntable
To use these body scanners, the person stands on a rotating table facing a 3D body scanner, typically a vertical unit.
During the scanning process, the turntable rotates 360°, allowing the subject to be captured from all angles. The 3D model is generated once the full rotation is complete.

Medical use of 3D scanning
3D scanning of a person is necessary for plastic surgeons, dentists, orthopedists and even cosmetologists. Before the advent of 3D technology, doctors had to take measurements manually, as well as create realistic models based on the information received: this is a hard and routine job that took a lot of time. 3D scanners have made medical procedures much easier: detailed information about a patient's anatomy can be obtained in minutes.
During the scan, the device recognizes the geometry of the body, and the sensors form a cloud of points. Based on the information received, the device software designs a polygonal body model and transfers it to the computer screen. The three-dimensional model becomes the basis for choosing the optimal method of surgical intervention, creating surgical prostheses, orthopedic shoes, and so on.
Benefits of 3D scanning
The 3D human scanner is used in all areas of medicine. Modern 3D scanners are replacing outdated diagnostic methods due to a number of advantages:
-
Three-dimensional models are more accurate and informative. At the diagnostic stage, some medical equipment makes errors, while 3D scanners show the best result;
-
Orthopedic corsets and insoles, created on the basis of a three-dimensional model of the patient, are much more accurate than plaster ones due to the consideration of aspects of individual anatomy;
-
Due to the high speed of work, new technologies allow you to get the necessary information urgently.
Delay in medicine can cost a person's health and even life, and three-dimensional scanners help prevent the development of undesirable conditions; -
Due to its safety, the technology is relevant for the diagnosis of adults and children.
Interesting! 3D scanning is used for cardiovascular surgery. Due to the high accuracy of the information received, surgeons choose the most relevant method of surgical intervention.
Types of 3D scanners
According to the principle of action in medicine, laser and optical 3D scanning is used. Each of these varieties has its own advantages, which we will discuss below.
Optical
The areas to be examined are illuminated with structured light, while the cameras record the result from different angles. The area is illuminated with a strip of light or a specific pattern (black and white stripes or squares).
The deformation of the light or pattern conveys to the device information about the shape and depth of the object. The process is recorded by one or two cameras, which transmit information about the structure of the object to the computer software. Such devices can be manual and desktop. In the first case, manual control of the device is used, in the second, the scanner is placed on the table. The main advantage of optical devices is the high speed of operation and the ability to transmit color.
Laser
The laser scanner measures the distance to the object under investigation and determines the actual length of the beams. The direction of the laser is controlled by encoders. Based on the analysis of the reflection of rays, a cloud of points is formed, which makes up a three-dimensional image of the object under study. The main advantage of such devices is the ability to digitize objects with a complex shape.
Attention! For the most accurate scan results, the patient must remain static.

Three-dimensional scanning is actively used in almost all medical fields. The presence of an accurate anatomical model helps to determine the current treatment regimen or to model a prosthesis. We must not forget the importance of virtual models for medical students: such schemes allow us to study the human anatomy in the most detailed way.
Dentistry
The use of an intraoral 3D scanner for diagnostics
The use of a dental 3D scanner to create a digital model of a plaster jaw prosthesis
Due to oncology, the Australian had to remove 80% of the upper jaw.
The use of a 3D scanner helped create the perfect jaw prosthesis 3D dental scanning helps to create detailed virtual pictures of the patient's teeth. Thanks to this, the most complex restoration and restoration work is carried out, orthodontists design prostheses. The technology significantly reduces the time of manufacturing complex structures, and also saves the cost of producing plaster and other models.
The 3D scanner is actively used in dentistry due to a number of advantages. The device is suitable for working with patients with an increased gag reflex. Just a few years ago, to create an impression of the teeth, an impression mass was placed in the patient's mouth: this procedure brought great discomfort. Nowadays, 3D-scanning of teeth is carried out contactlessly and does not bring discomfort.
Attention! The use of a 3D scanner in dental practice has a great advantage: the data obtained during the diagnostics are instantly transmitted to the laboratory.
Plastic surgery and cosmetology
face scan
Familiarization of the patient with the expected result of rhinoplasty based on a three-dimensional image of her face
3D face scanning is actively used in cosmetology and plastic surgery. The study is assigned to study problem areas before carrying out some cosmetic manipulations, as well as to design the expected result of plastic surgery. Thanks to this technology, the patient can get acquainted with how his face will look after surgery. The scanner is used for performing operations on the face (rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty) and body (mammoplasty, abdominoplasty, etc.).
Orthopedics
3D scanning of the spine
3D scanning of the foot to study the anatomical curves
Orthopedic insole printed on the basis of a 3D image of the foot
3D scanning of the body is relevant in the process of determining the type and stage of curvature of the spine or foot.
The use of x-rays to diagnose the spine and lower extremities does not provide such accurate information, moreover, this procedure is contraindicated in some patients. 3D scanning helps to obtain detailed information about the pathology and develop actual orthopedic products (insoles and corsets). For the manufacture of insoles, previously it was necessary to make an impression of the foot. If the doctor made mistakes, the cast turned out to be inaccurate, which affected the quality of the insoles. New technologies help to obtain the most accurate information, regardless of the doctor's actions.
Surgery
3D model of the heart created from scanned data
Siamese twin chest model. Based on the data obtained as a result of the scan, the surgeons managed to perform the most difficult operation to separate them.
The application of new technology plays an important role in surgery. Scanning is aimed at studying the features of the pathology, its location and blood supply.
This information helps to carry out more accurate and safer operations, to prevent complications during surgery. In addition, scanning is used in the process of bioprinting tissues and organs for transplantation. 3D scanning is closely related to 3D printing: the surgeon gets the opportunity to study the model of the operated organ or part of the body, develop an actual scheme for surgical intervention and “hone” the movements.
Prosthetics
The use of a 3D laser scanner in transplantation
Prosthesis based on scan data
In the process of creating manual prostheses, it is necessary to accurately determine the location of tissues, muscles and blood vessels. If errors are made during the diagnosis, local necrosis may develop due to tissue rejection. Modern technologies allow collecting the most accurate information about the shape of the stump and the location of tissues to create high-quality and comfortable prostheses.
Student education
A student studies pathological anatomy based on a 3D cadaver model
Scanning helps medical students study anatomy more effectively. The new method is much more efficient than the use of 2D images in classical anatomical atlases. Some programs allow you to observe the surgical intervention: for example, the trajectory of the scalpel during the operation.
Interesting! In France, a 3D scanner is being used to study pathological anatomy. There was no need for an in-person autopsy, and the resulting schemes make it possible to study the human body in layers.

3D-innovations in medicine
Three-dimensional scanners are successfully used by prisons and orthopedists to create high-precision scans of body parts.
This means that specialists can produce prostheses that are ideally suited to their patients without spending as much money on design as before. Previously, the process of producing prostheses and corsets was labor-intensive and uncomfortable. The patient was covered with plaster and waited. After hardening, the gypsum was cut off and sent to production. The manufacturer received the form and manually took measurements.
Now that medical institutions have the opportunity to use 3D scanners, there is no longer a need for expensive and time-consuming work to create plaster models, there is no need to contact the delivery service and wait for the cargo to arrive. Corsets created according to a 3D model are more accurate than plaster corsets, because they take into account all the nuances of the body structure.
Most recently, the design of dentitions took several weeks. Now, thanks to the advent of ultra-precise 3D scanners, the process is simplified and accelerated to several days.
