I chose this project because I believe it is a meaningful study that has the potential to greatly improve the quality of life of women undergoing breast reconstruction following mastectomy for breast cancer. 3D surface imaging and simulation has the potential to not only help prepare patients for their breast reconstruction surgery but also measure the effects of radiotherapy, improve surgical planning and reduce the need for future revisional surgery, which has a significant impact on the patient.
