3D scanning workflow, (a) 3D scanner enclosure system for mouse lower limb lymphedema assessment, White arrowhead: motor, Gray arrowhead: Control for adjusting revolutions per minute, Black arrow: 3D scanner, White arrow: Sockets for the 3D scanner, located around the circle at 0 degrees, − 30 degrees, − 45 degrees, and − 60 degrees (worm’s eye view). Gray arrow: Mouse set on a plate hanging from the motor with a concave groove for the trunk of the mouse, which is 13 cm from the 3D scanner, Scale bar: 15 cm, (b) Collection of raw data (point cloud). Point clouds of both sides of the hindlimb were successfully collected. Note that the point clouds on the splint, which are an obvious landmark for volume assessment, and the distal toe with the nail are missing. (c) Measurement of a 3D object in virtual space using 3D Slicer, The length, area, and volume of the object are easily assessed using the software.
