Abstract
We propose a new breast volume calculation method, treating the breast as an elliptical cone on craniocaudal and medial–lateral-oblique mammograms. This study aims to compare the accuracy and reproducibility of this proposed calculation method to the old Katariya method, which calculates breast volume as a circular cone on the craniocaudal mammogram only.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
