METHOD TO DETERMINE BRA CUP SIZE FOR VIETNAM'S BREAST CANCER PATIENTS AFTER MASTECTOMY

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the increase in female breast
hemicircumference in different breast size groups, thereby serving as the basis for
determining the bra cup size. The data for this study includes 3D body scan data
of more than a thousand adult women aged 18-55 living and working in some
northern provinces of Vietnam. The breast size parameters for the study were
automatically extracted by TC2
's 3D scanner. The results show that the length of
breast hemicircumference is closely correlated with the difference between the
bust and the underbust. Breast hemicircumference is applied to determine the cup
size when choosing bras and breast prostheses for Vietnamese breast cancer
patients after mastectomy.
