Fig 9. Comparison between the acquired follow-up surface scans and the in-silico predictions.

The follow-up surface scan (6–12 months after surgery) with the patients in standing position is illustrated on the left-hand side column of the figure. In the centre column, the breast shape 3 months after BCT—predicted by the surgical simulation tool—is shown. The colour map represents the measured distance, d, between the rigidly aligned follow-up scan and the simulated surgical outcome. On the right-hand side column, the histogram to the normalised frequency of occurrence, n, against distance, d, is presented.
