Predicting effective adaptation to breast cancer to help women BOUNCE back: Pro...
Pettini, Greta; Sanchini, Virginia; Pat-Horenczyk, Ruth; Sousa, Berta; Masiero, Marianna; Marzorati, Chiara; Galimberti, Viviana EnricaBackground: Despite the continued progress of medicine, dealing with breast cancer is becoming a major socioeconomic challenge, particularly due to its increasing incidence. The ability to better manage and adapt to the entire care process depends not only on the type of cancer but also on the patient’s sociodemographic and psychological characteristics as well as on the social environment in which a person liv...
3D breast volume estimation
Gouveia, Pedro; Oliveira, Hélder P.; Monteiro, João P.; Teixeira, João F.; Silva, Nuno L.; Pinto, David; Mavioso, Carlos; Anacleto, JoãoIntroduction: Breast volume estimation is considered crucial for breast cancer surgery planning. A single, easy, and reproducible method to estimate breast volume is not available. This study aims to evaluate, in patients proposed for mastectomy, the accuracy of the calculation of breast volume from a low-cost 3D surface scan (Microsoft Kinect) compared to the breast MRI and water displacement technique. Materi...
