Quantification of nipple size and shape among an ethnically diverse sample of US women by Peter Wildfeuer, Alexis Alban, Bob Worrell, Shilo Ben Zeev, Judith Shamian, Mike Woolridge

“…A total of 510 women were recruited into this study—using an iPhone App, employing the ‘True Depth Scanning’ software, and scanning their torso from both the left and right aspect to secure an image of each breast. They provided 1,129 scans, of which 835 (74%) were submitted to a purpose-built algorithm which isolated the nipple-areola complex as a definable 3D cube, which was re-aligned to enable key parameters of nipple geometry to be measured. …”
