Structured-light surface scanning system to evaluate breast morphology in standing and supine positions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Breast shapes are affected by gravitational loads and deformities. Measurements obtained in the standing position may not correlate well with measurements in the supine position, which is more representative of patient position during breast surgery. A dual color 3D surface imaging system capable of scanning patients in both supine and standing positions was developed to evaluate the effect of changes in body posture on breast morphology. The system was evaluated with breast phantoms to assess accuracy, then tested on ten subjects in three body postures to assess its effectiveness as a clinical tool. The accuracy of the system was within 0.4 mm on average across the model. For the human study, there was no effect of body posture on breast volumes (p value > 0.05), but we observed an effect of completeness of breast scans on body posture (p value < 0.05). Post-hoc tests showed that the supine position and the standing position with hands at the waist differed significantly (p value < 0.05). This study shows that the system can quantitatively evaluate the effect of subject postures, and thereby has the potential to be used to investigate peri-operative changes in breast morphology.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
