title: Rasterstereography in the measurement and postoperative follow-up of anterior chest wall deformities.
abstract: Rasterstereography is a contact-free photogrammetric method for the measurement of body surfaces. As such it is particularly suited for the objective documentation of anterior chest wall deformities and the results of surgery. An example of its application and first results are presented. The possibilities of a thorough data analysis with regard to diagnosis and therapy control are outlined.
