“…Spontaneous bilateral BA is widely observed 22) . The left breast is located more caudally and is larger in female adolescents with right thoracic idiopathic scoliosis 28,34) . In Shi et al's study 31) , the incidence of BA in surgically treated female right thoracic idiopathic scoliosis is notable, with the concave breast being larger, more extroversive, and more concentrated than the convex breast.…”

“…Ramsay et al 28) reported a weak positive correlation between the BA and Cobb angle in girl patients with idiopathic scoliosis but also stated that the difference was statistically insignificant. The authors also found no statistically significant correlation between BA and thoracic rib hump.…”

“…Ignorance of the anterior side of the rib cage leads to postoperative cosmetic failure, physiological distress and increased asymmetry of the breast. For this reason, attention is now focused on the BA in scoliosis patients 11,12,21,22,25,28,31,34) . It can be necessary to inform and evaluate the scoliosis patients both posteriorly and anteriorly.…”

“…Recently, in addition to the cosmetic appearance of the back of the body in scoliosis, the appearance of the front of our body has begun to gain importance. Many studies have focused on objectively demonstrating the presence of breast and chest wall asymmetry in scoliosis patients [8][9][10]22,24,28,29,31,34) . Shape of the anterior chest wall is highly variable in scoliosis patients with similar Cobb angles.…”

It can be assumed that the progression of scoliosis in the juvenile period will increase the asymmetry in the rib cage, and thus will contribute to an increase in the breast asymmetry (BA) in the future. We are looking for answers to the questions; "How will the breasts look with respect to each other and what is the possibility of developing BA in the early follow-up period following the early surgical treatment and final fusion surgery of juvenile idiopathic scoliosis (JIS)?" For this reason, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the breast asymmetries of patients in the period after the final fusion. Methods : Following growing rod treatment, final fusion was achieved in 12 females with JIS. We used the anthropomorphic measurement of the modified BREAST-V formula to assess whether there was an asymmetry between the breasts after an average of 4.8 years (2-11) following final fusion. Results : In comparison, the mean volume of the left breast (222.4 mL [range, 104.1-330.2]) was larger than the mean volume of the right breast volume (214.5 mL [range, 95.2-326.7]) (p=0.034). The left breast was larger in 75% of the patients. BA was observed in 50% of the patients. No correlation was detected between the Cobb angle of the patient after final fusion and BA (p=0.688). Conclusion : In the late follow-up period, BA was detected in 50% of the patients with JIS who achieved final fusion after treatment with growing rod. In majority of the patients, left breast was larger. The patients with JIS and their families can be informed prior to the operation about the probability of BA seen in the follow-up period after fusion.

“…In collaboration with Sainte-Justine University Hospital Centre in Montreal, Canada, MRI datasets of the trunk of 20 patients were obtained. These data were taken in the context of a study on the impact of spine deformity on breast asymmetry [41]. The datasets were acquired from adolescent girls with spine deformity.…”

SUMMARYThere are many ways to generate geometrical models for numerical simulation and most of them start with a segmentation step to extract the boundaries of the regions of interest. This paper presents an algorithm to generate a patient specific 3D geometric model, based on a tetrahedral mesh, without an initial extraction of contours from the volumetric data. Using the information directly available in the data, such as grey levels, a metric is built to drive a mesh adaptation process. The metric is used to specify the size and orientation of the tetrahedral elements everywhere in the mesh. Our method, which produces anisotropic meshes, gives good results with synthetic and real MRI data. The resulting model quality has been evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively by comparing it with an analytical solution and with a segmentation made by an expert. Results show that our method gives, in 90% of the cases, as good or better meshes as a similar isotropic method, based on the accuracy of the volume reconstruction for a given mesh size. Moreover, a comparison of Hausdorff distances between adapted meshes of both methods and ground-truth volumes shows that our method decreases reconstruction errors faster.
