RECOGNITION OF ANATOMICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE BREAST VOLUME TO ENSURE BREAST SURGERY

摘要

1. A system for automatically determining the volume of the chest based on data of a three-dimensional contour image of the upper body, comprising: (a) a three-dimensional image forming device for generating the specified three-dimensional contour image of the specified surface of the specified upper body; (b) a computer analysis device associated with the specified device for forming a three-dimensional image and including one or more computing modules designed to determine the rate of change in the contours of the specified three-dimensional image of the specified upper body; (c) wherein said computer analysis device further comprises one or more computing modules for determining an open continuous curve representing a submammary fold of the three-dimensional image of the chest according to the specified three-dimensional image by analyzing the specified three-dimensional image the rate of change of the specified contours of the specified three-dimensional image, while the specified open to a curve representing a fold of the breast extends along the surface of the indicated three-dimensional image and borders the lower part of the breast; (d) wherein said computer analysis device further comprises one or more computing modules for determining the parameters of the three-dimensional image of the chest wall from the data of the specified three-dimensional image by analysis the specified paths and the specified rate of change of the specified paths of the specified three-dimensional image, while the specified parameter
