Abstract
A method is for determining a patient weight and/or a body mass index of a patient. The method includes acquiring image data containing depth information of the patient; generating a surface model of the patient based upon the image data acquired; determining density information or X-ray attenuation information of at least part of the patient; and determining at least one of the total patient weight and the body mass index of the patient using the surface model generated and the density information or X-ray attenuation information determined.
