Interactive Design of Patient-Specific Molds for Tissue Shaping

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Mastectomy

In brief

The goal of this study is to develop clinical decision-support algorithms for designing participants-specific breast molds for tissue shaping. Autologous breast reconstruction is an important part of breast cancer rehabilitation for many participants. Our goal is to increase the efficiency of autologous breast reconstruction by helping the surgeon design participants-specific molds for shaping tissue into an acceptable breast form.
