Chances and limitations of a low-priced mobile 3-D scanner for breast imaging in comparison to an established 3-D photogrammetric system

In search of new possibilities in 3-D surface imaging, several non-medical scanning systems have been assessed for their implementation in Plastic Surgery. The aim of this study was to compare a new affordable 3-D imaging consumer product in comparison to an established medical 3-D imaging system for objective 3-D breast imaging.
