Challenges in developing a quantitative method of measuring breast development using 3D imaging: An example of a novel method for use in induced breast development with exogenous oestrogen
Authors' conclusion
3D imaging is a promising novel tool to provide quantitative breast volume assessment in individuals undergoing breast induction with exogenous oestradiol treatment.

- Participants
- 29 participants
- Outcome
- Reproducibility and validity of 3D imaging for differential breast volume
