Technology Developed at Petit Institute Gets Test Run

Posted: October 16, 2017 Portable 3-D scanner developed in lab of Brandon Dixon assesses patients with elephantiasis An estimated 120 million people worldwide are infected with lymphatic filariasis, a parasitic, mosquito-borne disease that can cause major swelling and deformity of the legs known as elephantiasis. Health-care workers rely on leg measurements to assess the severity … Continue reading “Technology Developed at Petit Institute Gets Test Run”
