New ViP Models Released Representing Class II and III Obesity
IT’IS has expanded its Virtual Population (ViP) library with two new obese models, based on the male phantom Eddie V3.2. Using a validated morphing technique, the models were modified to represent body mass indices of 39 kg/m² and 46 kg/m², respectively. The deformation strategy ensures biological plausibility by increasing adipose and muscular tissue while preserving internal anatomical structures.
These additions expand demographic coverage, enable more comprehensive evaluations – such as magnetic resonance imaging safety assessments – for larger body types. Both models adhere to the stringent ViP quality standards and are fully compatible with the Sim4Life simulation and posing framework.
