Figure 4 Virtual correction with MATLAB R2020a software. (A) No deformity, intact chest; (B) pectus excavatum deformed symmetrical chest; and (C) asymmetrical chest. The application can be used both for symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes. This is a mathematical model for correcting chest deformities. The images show the circles connecting the reference points, touching each other and thus drawing the shape of the bar. The software used for figure creation was Phyton.
