Under the premise of ensuring the safety of breast tumors, combining the concepts and methods of plastic surgery to perform breast reconstruction and beauty on patients has become a new trend and new direction in the development of breast surgery. Breast reconstruction refers to the restoration of normal breast appearance through autologous tissue transplantation or combined with artificial materials. Breast reconstruction technology not only focuses on the restoration of appearance, but also pays more attention to the improvement of the patient's overall rehabilitation quality and quality of life. Based on the latest expert consensus on breast tumor plastic surgery and breast reconstruction (2022 edition) published by the Breast Cancer Professional Committee of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association and the Chinese expert consensus on accelerated recovery surgery for breast reconstruction (2022 edition), the surgical methods for breast reconstruction patients after breast cancer surgery were explored.

[0105] In one embodiment, the specific process of the difference calculation module used in this embodiment is as follows:

[0106] The difference calculation module includes:

[0107] The voxelization unit is used to obtain the three-dimensional image data in the target breast reconstruction data, and convert the three-dimensional image data into a voxel grid after preprocessing; it can be understood that, in this embodiment, first, a three-dimensional scanner is used to scan the patient's bilateral breasts to obtain their accurate three-dimensional data. The scanned data is imported into a dedicated computer software, such as Materialise's Mimics or other medical image processing software. The acquired three-dimensional image data is preprocessed as necessary, including denoising, contrast enhancement, segmentation, etc., to ensure the accuracy of subsequent volume calculations. The continuous three-dimensional image data is converted into a voxel grid. Each voxel represents a tiny cubic space, the size of which is determined by the scanning resolution.

[0108] A segmentation and labeling unit, which is used to distinguish the target breast tissue from the background and non-breast tissue by image segmentation technology, and to label the voxels of the target breast tissue, so that in the software, the image is optimized by tools such as threshold segmentation and region growing to ensure that the breast tissue is accurately segmented and identified, using image segmentation techniques such as threshold processing, region growing or deep learning algorithms;

[0109] The volume calculation unit is used to calculate the number of voxels marked as target breast tissue and multiply it by the volume of a single voxel. The volumes of all voxels corresponding to one breast are added together to obtain the total volume of the corresponding breast. The volume of a single voxel is the product of its physical size in three-dimensional space, which is usually determined by the resolution of the scanning device. Using software tools, the volume of each breast is calculated based on the processed three-dimensional model. This is usually achieved by calculating the total number of pixels or voxels (three-dimensional pixels) and multiplying it by the volume of a single pixel;

[0110] In three-dimensional space, the volume is obtained by calculating the sum of all voxels, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0111]

[0112] Where V is the volume, vi is the volume of the i-th voxel, and n is the total number of voxels.

[0113] Here is an example: suppose we have a 3D scan dataset where each voxel has a side length of 1 mm (i.e., a volume of 1 cubic millimeter). Through image segmentation, we determine that the total number of voxels in breast tissue is 2,500,000. The formula for calculating volume is: V = N × Vvoxel, where V is the volume, N is the number of voxels, and Vvoxel is the volume of a single voxel. In this example, the volume of each voxel is 1 mm 3 , so the total volume V is: V = 2,500,000 × 1mm 3 =2,500,000mm 3 .

[0114] Since 1cm 3 =1,000mm 3 , the volume can be converted to cubic centimeters: V = 2,500,000 mm 3 ÷1,000=2,500cm 3 , therefore, the volume of the breast is 2,500 cubic centimeters. This process can be automated in various 3D image processing software, such as MATLAB, Python (using libraries such as SimpleITK or nibabel), or professional medical imaging software such as Mimics.

[0115] Furthermore, the difference calculation module further includes: a mirror overlapping unit, which is used for: in order to evaluate symmetry, the software can mirror the three-dimensional model of the healthy breast and overlap the three-dimensional breast model of the healthy breast with the three-dimensional breast model of the affected breast;

[0116] A volume difference calculation unit is used to calculate the volume difference between the two sides of the three-dimensional breast model, that is, the volume difference, and output the breast volume difference predicted by PABVD;

[0117] Determine the target breast reconstruction unit, which is used to select the closest reconstruction volume PPV based on the calculated PABVD to determine the reference plan for breast reconstruction surgery and the target breast volume. The reference plan for breast reconstruction surgery can use autologous tissue transplantation or combined with artificial materials.

[0118] An example is as follows: Assume that after 3D scanning and software processing, the following data is calculated: healthy breast volume: 300ml, affected breast volume: 280ml, calculated volume difference (PABVD): 300ml-280ml=20ml, 300ml-280ml=20ml. Based on this result, a reconstructive prosthesis with a volume of 20ml is selected to supplement the missing part of the affected breast, thereby restoring the symmetry of the bilateral breasts as much as possible. Through the above modules or steps, the breast volume difference can be accurately calculated, and the surgical planning can be carried out accordingly to achieve the best postoperative effect.

[0119] For example, the reference scheme for breast reconstruction surgery adopted in this embodiment is as follows: 1. Implants: 1) expander implantation + prosthesis implantation; 2) prosthesis implantation; 3) autologous tissue (in the selection of autologous flap donor sites, the principles of blood supply priority, economy and donor site conservation should be followed. The patient's body shape, breast morphology and donor site conditions are three important considerations): Autologous flap breast reconstruction technology mainly adopts three types of autologous tissue flap technologies: ① Pedicled tissue flap technology.
