"How much error is associated with calculating breast volume from three" by Celeste E. Coltman, Deirdre E. McGhee et al.
Background: A lying prone position is recommended when scanning women’s breasts to ensure the entire breast can be visualised. However, several large databases contain three-dimensional scans of women’s breasts and torsos that were obtained while the women were standing.
