Volumetry in Breast Reconstruction: Always New, Always Better?

Authors: Siling Yang, Marie-Luise Klietz, Tobias Hirsch, Philipp Wiebringhaus, Matthias M. Aitzetmüller

Published in: Aesthetic Plastic Surgery | Issue 4/2022

Abstract

Although breast surgeries for aesthetic or reconstructive purposes are regularly performed, no focus has been laid on establishing an adequate and reliable volumetry method. While CT and MRI scan represent methods that are already in clinical use, the 3D scan is a novel and promising tool, easy to use with the possibility to measure the anatomic breast volume in an upright position. Nevertheless, its reliability is broadly underinvestigated.
