Hi Herrald,
There are several methods to measure limb volume, Martin Watson quoted
one in his post. Another method is measuring by laser or by infrared
respectively. The infrared way of measurement was evaluated by
S. Tierney, M. Aslam, K. Rennie, P. Grace
Infrared Optoelectronic Volumetry, the Ideal Way to Measure Limb Volume
in: European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery
Volume 12 Issue 4 - November 1996 (p 412 - 417). I am sure you can get
provider data from them.
Maybe you can get more references from
Pero-System Meßgeräte GmbH, Prof. Dr. J.-U. Fischbach (PEROMETER-
Bildaufnahme-und Bildanalysesysteme). You will find them at
Technologiezentrum Wuppertal
W-tec GmbH
Müngstener Str. 10 - 42285 Wuppertal

Hope this helps a little bit
