3D BREAST SIMULATION SOFTWARE IS “GROUND BREAKING” ADVANCE
A US-based company has made a major breakthrough after developing the world’s first simulation software based on physics-driven tissue typing.
Axis Three, the leader and pioneer of surgical simulation tools for the cosmetic surgery industry, has launched Portrait 3D – Breast, which uses revolutionary Tissue Behavior Simulation (TBS) technology to accurately combine breast and tissue-type characterisations with specific implants from implant manufacturers. This will allow surgeons to use the patient’s specific body attributes, such as their parenchyma, glandular contribution and skin elasticity, when simulating various procedures.
“Portrait 3D, with its new physics-based algorithm, is a huge advance in breast imaging,” said Dr William Adams, Jr. “The program provides the surgeon with a comprehensive consultation tool that allows the patient to better understand many aspects of breast surgery. In addition, for the first time in the history of breast augmentation, patients have something with a scientific basis to provide a three dimensional glimpse of what they actually may look like post-operatively.”
“Axis Three’s scientific approach allows patients of varying ages and body types to be simulated using a completely customizable algorithm that leaves the standard ‘one fit for all’ approach far behind,” adds Jim Blumel, VP of US Operations. “This innovation is magnified when compared to existing 3D breast systems that are not science-based and are essentially just ‘pretty pictures.’
” Axis Three also announced the Portrait 3D – Face product, which will simulate surgical and non-surgical face procedures.
