Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods for selecting follicular units in a distribution of follicular units are provided. A selection parameter, such as a distance-related parameter separating the follicular units to be selected, may be used to determine a desired quantity of follicular units to be selected, such as a desired percentage of follicular units to be selected, and to help provide a substantially uniform distribution of selected follicular units. In addition, a characteristic parameter, such as a characteristic distance or characteristic density, may be determined. The characteristic parameter may be used in determining the desired quantity of follicular units to be selected and or may be used for treatment purposes.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of determining a desired quantity of follicular units to be selected in a distribution of follicular units, the method comprising: determining, with a processor, a quantity of follicular units to be selected in the distribution of follicular units based on a value of a selection parameter; and iteratively selecting a different value as the value of the selection parameter and repeating the determining step until the value of the selection pa…
