Fig. 3From: Applications of 3D printing in breast cancer managementa Axial contrast-enhanced MRI of the left breast in prone position showing a central mass (arrow). b Axial cross-section of multi-compartment reconstruction in prone position. The 3D reconstruction includes skin (purple), adipose tissue (green), fibroglandular tissue (blue), and mass (yellow). c Simulated multi-compartment reconstruction in the supine or surgical position. The supine state was achieved by applying gravity to the model (in vivo gravity loading). The entire model, including each compartment, experience displacement and deformations proportional to their inherent mechanical propertiesBack to article page
