3. Towards Quantifying the Aesthetic Outcomes of Breast Cancer Treatment: Assessment of Surgical Scars

Author

Kim, Min Soon, Rodney, William N., Peng, Joshua, Reece, Gregory P., and Markey, Mia K.

Subjects
Observer Variation, Cicatrix, Esthetics, Mammaplasty, Image Processing, Computer-Assisted, Humans, Breast Neoplasms, Female, Pilot Projects, Article, Mastectomy, Decision Support Techniques
Abstract

Our long-term goal is to develop decision aids that will improve breast cancer treatment by explicitly taking aesthetics in the consideration. Essentially all breast cancer treatment involves surgery, which inevitably leaves scars. However, the extent and type of scarring is not the same for different surgeries (e.g., different forms of reconstruction.) We present our preliminary experiences in using image processing techniques to quantify scar characteristics in clinical photographs.

5. Quantifying the aesthetic outcomes of breast cancer treatment: assessment of artificial scars.

Subjects
Breast pathology, Female, Humans, Mastectomy, Breast Neoplasms surgery, Cicatrix classification, Colorimetry, Esthetics, Photography, Skin Pigmentation
Abstract

All breast cancer treatment involves surgery, which inevitably leaves scars. Some previous studies of scarring in other healthcare settings have employed colorimeters. However, specialized colorimetry equipment is not widely used in plastic surgery; Instead, surgical outcomes are documented using digital photography. In this study, we used controlled experiments with artificial scars to compare measurements obtained by a colorimeter and a digital camera.
