Visualization of the avatars based T1-weighted contrast-enhanced MRI using the AVATAR MEDICAL software. Different three-dimensional views assessing the location of the two tumors (a-c). Three-dimensional view of the breast perforator arteries from the intercostal arteries (left breast) and internal thoracic artery (left and right breast) (a). Demonstration of the measurement of the distances from the superior tumor to nipple-areolar complex (59.3 mm) and to skin (23.7 mm) (b). Different view showing the distances from the inferior tumor to nipple-areolar complex (76.3 mm) and to skin (9.4 mm) (c).

Prior to the surgery, MRI images were reconstructed with the AVATAR MEDICAL software, which showed the dimensions of the tumors and distance from the tumor to the skin, with the trajectory and anatomy the breast perforator arteries identified (Figure 1).
