Breast volume

Breast volume is a method of measuring the size of the breasts.[1][2] A variety of techniques have been used to measure breast volume, including water displacement, medical imaging (e.g., mammography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound), and 3D scanning.[2][1] There is substantial measurement error with many breast volume measures, but MRI imaging appears to have among the lowest error and hence to be the most accurate measure.[1][2] However, 3D scanning might have the potential to become the new gold standard for clinical assessment.[3][4]
