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.
