Topology and health

[petrushka.googol]

Does human topology have any link to predisposition to disease ?

 

If we capture the silhouette of a person in 3D we can identify issues like pectus excavatum, obesity, stunted growth etc. for obvious reasons ?

 

If we superimpose this silhoutte onto a normal persons trace we can see the deviation and presumably identify disease hotspots.

 

Does any 3D imaging software replicate this ?

The same dictionary also confuses topology with topography.

[fresh]

so,topology or topography ? or both are right ?

This is digressing from the main issue. Still my question remains unanswered.
