“…Our group has recently shown three-dimensional surface imaging as a useful device to accurately quantify the volumetric changes during the postoperative period following aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery. 17 Based on this work, we introduced a novel analytical concept of mammometrics to quantify breast volume and shape. [17][18][19] This work serves as the foundation of the following article, which quantifies for the first time the amount of volume retention following autologous fat transfer to the breast.…”

“…3). By standardising these landmarks, volume, shape and symmetry can be assessed and it is possible to compare one breast with the other or changes in the same breast over time [49]. Studies have validated the accuracy of mammometrics compared with traditional direct anthropomorphic measurements [31].…”

“…Breast volume has been identified as a key metric [1] in breast surgery [2,3]. As a clinically relevant [4] objective measure, knowledge of breast volume helps a surgeon to select protocols, choose appropriate implant sizes [5] and achieve breast symmetry [6].…”

The accuracy of breast volume measurement methods: A systematic review

Breast volume is a key metric in breast surgery and there are a number of different methods which measure it. However, a lack of knowledge regarding a method's accuracy and comparability has made it difficult to establish a clinical standard. We have performed a systematic review of the literature to examine the various techniques for measurement of breast volume and to assess their accuracy and usefulness in clinical practice. Each of the fifteen studies we identified had more than ten live participants and assessed volume measurement accuracy using a gold-standard based on the volume, or mass, of a mastectomy specimen. Many of the studies from this review report large (>200 ml) uncertainty in breast volume and many fail to assess measurement accuracy using appropriate statistical tools. Of the methods assessed, MRI scanning consistently demonstrated the highest accuracy with three studies reporting errors lower than 10% for small (250 ml), medium (500 ml) and large (1000 ml) breasts. However, as a high-cost, non-routine assessment other methods may be more appropriate.
