INESC TEC participates in project to predict the aesthetic outcomes of breast cancer surgery
INESC TEC’s Telecommunications and Multimedia Unit (UTM) is part of a European Consortium that has been working since the beginning of the year on a tool that will predict the aesthetic appearance of breasts after undergoing conservative surgery. Other than being innovative (until now there was no objective tool to assess these results), project PICTURE (Patient Information Combined for the Assessment of Specific Surgical Outcomes in Breast Cancer) focuses on a research area with a clear social impact and for which INESC TEC has already been acknowledged. It is expected that the first results will be available in April 2014.
