Abstract

Breast reconstruction would be operated immediate after mastectomy from the point of view on cosmetic figuration and QOL in patients. However, there is an issue that cosmetic outcome in surgery because quantitative evaluation index for three-dimensional shape of the breasts has not been established. We developed image processing system that is able to evaluate quantitatively the shape of patient's breasts with pre and postoperative 2D and 3D information. Firstly, 3D surface data of patient's breast were scanned on pre and post mastectomy timing using Kinect V2. After that, 3D breast shape data were divided into small grid data and were used to calculating breast volume difference. The total difference information between pre and post mastectomy were plotted on a two-dimensional map image. At the same time, the volume difference histogram was derived and shown to the surgeon. Then, we developed such a system, evaluated this system with trial subjects.
