The purpose of this study is to establish an optimal module of breast configuration, under normal seating state, for postoperative evaluation of a female breast implant surgery. The analytical parameters of breast configuration, such as the breast position, size and shape, can be derived from a three-dimensional (3D), full-sized image process under non-radiation condition. This optimal module converts the breast position, size and shape to the breast configuration indicator consisting of three components or indices-the breast position, volume and breast congruence rate. In conjunction with the continuity analysis, the breast configuration indicator would allow a surgeon to practically grasp the progress during the postsurgery revisits. In addition, the module derived from the proposed computer-aided breast configuration indicator could be of great use as a tool of communication between patients and surgeons.
