We claim:

1. An apparatus for a scalp covering comprising:

a linking section having a first end and a second end;

a forward central section coupled to the linking section at a first forward central section end;

a rearward central section coupled to the linking section at a first rearward central section end;

a first set of forward radial sections coupled to the linking section wherein the first set of forward radial sections includes at least two forward radial sections that are each progressively further in distance from the forward central section;

a second set of forward radial sections coupled to the linking section wherein the second set of forward radial sections includes at least two forward radial sections that are each progressively further in distance from the forward central section;

a first set of rearward radial sections coupled to the linking section wherein the first set of rearward radial sections includes at least two rearward radial sections that are each progressively further in distance from the rearward central section; and

a second set of rearward radial sections coupled to the linking section wherein the second set of rearward radial sections includes at least two rearward radial sections that are each progressively further in distance from the rearward central section.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the linking section is manufactured of a thermally conductive material.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the forward central section or the rearward central section is manufactured of a thermally conductive material.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the radial sections are manufactured of a thermally conductive material.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a first set of tubular members for circulation of a cooling fluid through the scalp covering.

6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein a plurality of the sections each comprise a portion of the first set of tubular members.

7. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the first set of tubular members are fluidly connected to a cooling device.

8. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the portion of the first set of tubular members extends from the linking section along a length of one of the plurality of sections and back to the linking section.

9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein each of the forward radial sections are coupled perpendicularly to the linking section and substantially parallel to the forward central section.

10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein each of the rearward radial sections are coupled perpendicularly to the linking section and substantially parallel to the rearward central section.

11. A system for scalp covering comprising:

an inner scalp covering;

an intermediate scalp covering; and

an outer scalp covering.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the inner scalp covering is constructed of a thermally conductive material.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the intermediate scalp covering is constructed of a thermally neutral material.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the outer scalp covering is constructed of a thermally resistant material.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein the inner scalp covering is fluidly coupled to a cooling device.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein the outer scalp covering further comprises a first securing mechanism, and a second securing mechanism.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the outer scalp covering is secured against a patient’s scalp via the first securing mechanism and the second securing mechanism.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the outer scalp covering is dynamically adjusted to press the inner scalp covering to a patent’s scalp.

19. The system of claim 11, wherein the inner scalp covering is further comprised of a set of sections for interfacing with a patient’s scalp.

28

20. The system of claim 19, wherein the set of sections are each coupled fluidly to a cooling device.

21. A method of manufacture for a scalp covering comprising:

scanning a patient’s scalp to generate a scan data set;

importing the scan data set;

creating a parametric model from the scan data set;

interpolating the parametric model;

remapping the parametric model;

generating a design file from the remapped parametric model; and

outputting the design file.

22. The method of claim 21, wherein the scanning step is completed by a three-dimensional scanner.

23. The method of claim 21, wherein the creating step further comprises calculating a centroid point of the patient’s ear.

24. The method of claim 21, wherein the creating step further comprises calculating an azimuthal angle of the patient’s forehead hairline.

25. The method of claim 21, wherein the creating step further comprises calculating an azimuthal angle of the patient’s nape hairline.

26. The method of claim 21, wherein the interpolating step further comprises calculating a head radius.

27. The method of claim 21, wherein the interpolating step further comprises calculating a head surface.

28. The method of claim 21, wherein the generating step is further comprises calculating the width of a section of the scalp covering.

29

29. The method of claim 21, wherein the generating step further comprises calculating the radial angles for a section of the scalp covering.

30. The method of claim 21, wherein the generating step further comprises calculating the number of sections for the scalp covering.
