Development of patient-specific biomechanical models for predicting large breast deformation

Han L, Hipwell JH, Tanner C, Taylor Z, Mertzanidou T, Cardoso J, Ourselin S, Hawkes DJ. Development of patient-specific biomechanical models for predicting large breast deformation. Phys Med Biol. January 2012;57(2):455-472.

Publication Date
January 2012

How Analyze was Used
“All MR volume images were therefore segmented into fat, fibroglandular tissue, pectoral muscle and tumour (if present). The pectoral muscle was first segmented from the rest of the breast volume, manually, using an interactive tool in ANALYZE (www.analyzedirect.com). ”
