Breast cancer image fusion consists of registering and
visualizing different sets of a patient synchronized torso and radiological
images into a 3D model. Breast spatial interpretation and visualization by the
treating physician can be augmented with a patient-specific digital breast
model that integrates radiological images. But the absence of a ground truth
for a good correlation between surface and radiological information has
impaired the development of potential clinical applications.A new image
acquisition protocol was designed to acquire breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI) and 3D surface scan data with surface markers on the patient’s breasts
and torso.
