Figure 5 Planning in asymmetry. (A) Asymmetry in a CT scan of a patients with pectus excavatum; (B) mirrored scan of (A). The model can be used in cases of asymmetrical deformities as well. The software can perform the construction from the radiological right side, as in the images from the left side. In cases of asymmetry, the construction begins from the more favorable chest shape. If necessary, the software can mirror the image along the Y-axis. The software used for figure creation was Phyton.
