[Development of a computer-aided system for augmentation mammaplasty simulation].
A method for developing a three-dimensional visual system for simulating augmentation mammaplasty based on OpenGL is proposed. The 3D reconstruction of breast surface using NURBS, reality simulation of the breast surface, parametric design of mammary prosthesis, and simulation of postoperative effect are described. The system may provide a means for better communication between the surgeons and patients.
