Abstract
The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a customized breast prosthesis in such a manner as to perform three-dimensional scanning of user's body and apply the same shape, the same volume, and the same density as the actual breast to have the same weight, a system for manufacturing the same, a computer program and computer-readable record medium for the same, a customized breast prosthesis manufacture by the above method, and a customized correction brassiere for accommodating the customized breast prosthesis.
Claims12
A method of manufacturing a customized breast prosthesis performed by a system for manufacturing the customized breast prosthesis, the method, comprising:
- performing three-dimensional scanning of a user's body;
- acquiring shape, volume, and weight data of a resected breast part;
- selecting a material of the breast prosthesis;
- designing the customized breast prosthesis that is adjusted to the shape, volume, and weight of the resected breast part with the selected material of the breast prosthesis,
- wherein the acquiring of the shape, volume, and weight data of the resected breast part includes determining whether the shape, volume, and weight data of the resected breast part are acquired or not,
- and when the shape, volume, and weight data of the resected breast part are not acquired, further includes:
- modeling a curved surface of the resected breast part;
- calculating the volume of the resected breast part using the curved surface of the modeled resected breast part;
- and
- calculating the weight of the resected breast part from the volume of the resected breast part,
- wherein the modeling of the curved surface of the resected breast part includes:
- modeling a curved surface of a normal breast part form the scanned data;
- moving the modeled curved surface of the normal breast part in a horizontally symmetrical manner on the basis of a breast center line;
- and
- modeling the curved surface of the resected breast part by connecting the normal breast part moved in the horizontally symmetrical manner to a user surface of a breast resected region.
A method of manufacturing a customized breast prosthesis performed by a system for manufacturing the customized breast prosthesis, the method, comprising:
- performing three-dimensional scanning of a user's body;
- acquiring shape, volume, and weight data of a resected breast part;
- selecting a material of the breast prosthesis;
- designing the customized breast prosthesis that is adjusted to the shape, volume, and weight of the resected breast part with the selected material of the breast prosthesis,
- wherein the acquiring of the shape, volume, and weight data of the resected breast part includes determining whether the shape, volume, and weight data of the resected breast part are acquired or not,
- and when the shape, volume, and weight data of the resected breast part are not acquired, further includes:
- modeling a curved surface of the resected breast part;
- calculating the volume of the resected breast part using the curved surface of the modeled resected breast part;
- and
- calculating the weight of the resected breast part from the volume of the resected breast part,
- wherein the calculating of the volume of the resected breast part includes:
- creating a boundary of a glandular tissue dominant layer and a fat tissue dominant layer in the curved surface model of the resected breast part to complete the glandular tissue dominant layer;
- removing the glandular tissue dominant layer from the curved surface model of the resected breast part to complete the fat tissue dominant layer;
- and
- calculating each of a volume of the glandular tissue dominant layer and a volume of the fat tissue dominant layer.
