DOI: 10.1080/00140139.2022.2081365
Abstract: Abstract Background A lying prone position is recommended when scanning women’s breasts to ensure the entire breast can be visualised. However, several large databases contain three-dimensional scans of women’s breasts and torsos that were obtained… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/prs.0000000000010473
Abstract: BACKGROUND Few studies have examined whether preoperative three-dimensional (3D) surface imaging can accurately predict breast volume. Reliably predicting breast volume preoperatively can assist with breast reconstruction planning, patient education, and perioperative risk stratification. METHODS We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/sap.0000000000001057
Abstract: Objectives Conventional 2-stage expander-implant breast reconstruction is frequently performed. However, direct to implant reconstruction should be considered if indicated and if circumstances allow. One difficulty in breast reconstruction postmastectomy is selection of the appropriate implant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0233586
Abstract: Background Three-dimensional (3D) scanning is an established method of breast volume estimation. However, this method can never be entirely precise, since the thoracic wall cannot be imaged by the surface scanner. Current methods rely on… read more here.
