Breast Cancer Conservative Treatment (BCCT) is now the preferred tech-nique for breast cancer treatment. However the surgical outcome depends on several factors, many of them difficult to assess, and this leads to signif-icantly heterogeneous results. These results combined with the limited re-producibility of subjective evaluation, led to the development of objective methods, such as the new computer system named Breast Cancer Conser-vative Treatment.cosmetic results (BCCT.core). This software is based on comparisons between frontal photographs of the treated and non-treated breasts, using several indices related to the surgical aesthetic result. Al-though the BCCT.core system presents satisfactory results, there is an important limitation which is the inability to measure three-dimensional (3D) information. The aim with this work is to develop a simple 3D model of a female torso using low-cost solution, a Kinect sensor device. In the near future, the created model will be used as an updated version of a BCCT.core to obtain a full 3D aesthetic assessment of the surgical outcome. The results obtained are very satisfactory and suggests that this approach could be applied in the BCCT aesthetic evaluation.
