Résumé
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a milestone for human technology. In medicine, AI is set to play an important role as we progress into a new era. In plastic surgery, AI can participate in breast symmetry assessment, which until now has been mainly subjective, allowing for inconsistencies. This study aims to improve this evaluation process by integrating a novel trained neural network with the breast symmetry calculator, BAS-Calc. We combined the BAS-Calc tool with a custom-made neural network trained to automatically detect key features of the breast. This integrated system was tested on 81 images of patients who had undergone breast reconstruction post-breast cancer treatment. Its performance was evaluated against two human observers using statistical analysis. Our model successfully detected 399/405 (98.51%) of landmarks. Spearman and Pearson correlation indicated a strong positive relationship while Cohen's kappa demonstrated moderate to strong agreement between human observers and AI model. Notably, the average calculation time for the AI was 0.92 seconds, 16 times faster than the 14.09 seconds for humans. Our AI model successfully calculated breast symmetry from images of patients who had undergone reconstructive oncological breast surgery, demonstrating high correlation with human assessments and a markedly reduced processing time. As AI continues to evolve, it is poised to become a pivotal tool in Medicine. Therefore, it is crucial for medical professionals to proactively engage in implementing AI technologies safely and effectively. Further studies are required to broaden our understanding and maximize the potential benefits in this area. Takeaway bullet points Artificial intelligence (AI) is an upcoming force to be reckoned with. AI should find its way into practical applications in plastic surgery. AI can be applied to improve patient care and evaluate aesthetic results. In this work, we present a novel AI model that automatically evaluates breast symmetry.
