Abstract:
Objective To conduct the comparative study of the measurement of breast volume by MRI imaging and Archimedes method in immediate implant breast reconstruction.Methods A total of 44 patients who were diagnosed as breast cancer and undergone immediate implant breast reconstruction were selected from March 2011 to March 2013.22 cases were guided to select suitable breast implants by measuring the breast volume and correlative radial line based on MRI imaging.Control group containing 22 cases were guided to select breast implants by traditional Archimedes method and clinical experience.3 breast surgeons and plastic surgeons who did not participate in the operation were selected to judge the postoperative breast shape.Data of two groups were analyzed by using chisquare test.Results All the patients recovered smoothly after operation without infection,and the wound healed well.The breast shape was evaluated.21 cases (95.5 ％) were good in test group and 1 case (4.5％) was poor;16 cases (72.7％) were good in control group and 6 cases (27.3) were poor.The comparison between the test group and control group had statistical significance (P＜0.05).Conclusions The method to measure the breast volume and correlative radial line based on MRI imaging has important values for selecting breast implants in immediate implant breast reconstruction.It could be extensively used in clinical practice.
