Development of populational female thorax sizes and body habitus categories using computed tomography (CT) images
This study used a BN model to establish a range of female thorax sizes using CT chest images to support improved positioning practices. These ranges of thorax sizes should be integrated as a body habitus criterion in the current image evaluation system to maximise image quality and subsequent breast cancer diagnosis.
