The whole-body imaging device investigated in this study can be utilized to capture the face and provides enough accuracy to compare scans. Even though not directly investigated, it can be hypothesized that the error caused by repositioning the patient between a baseline and a follow-up scan will not be too big to consider measurements performed with the whole-body imaging device as impractical.
