Distances in the craniocaudal (CC) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) views were measured in 28 subjects with mammograms recorded twice or more after ST-VAB. The difference in the distance between the first and second measurements was defined as the reproducibility and was compared with that from a conventional method using a mask system with overlap of transparent film on the mammogram. The 3D clip-to-calcification distance was measured using the direct method in 71 subjects.　 RESULTS:　 The reproducibility of the direct method was higher than that of the conventional method in CC and MLO views (P = 0.002, P < 0.001). The median 3D clip-to-calcification distance was 2.8 mm, with an interquartile range of 2.0-4.8 mm and a range of 1.1-36.3 mm.　 CONCLUSION:　 The direct method used in this study was more accurate than the conventional method, and gave a median 3D distance of 2.8 mm between the calcification and clip. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YatakeHidetoshi en-aut-sei=Yatake en-aut-mei=Hidetoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=SawaiYuka en-aut-sei=Sawai en-aut-mei=Yuka kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NishiToshio en-aut-sei=Nishi en-aut-mei=Toshio kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakanoYoshiaki en-aut-sei=Nakano en-aut-mei=Yoshiaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=NishimaeAyaka en-aut-sei=Nishimae en-aut-mei=Ayaka kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=KatsudaToshizo en-aut-sei=Katsuda en-aut-mei=Toshizo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=YabunakaKoichi en-aut-sei=Yabunaka en-aut-mei=Koichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakedaYoshihiro en-aut-sei=Takeda en-aut-mei=Yoshihiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=InajiHideo en-aut-sei=Inaji en-aut-mei=Hideo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Breast Cancer Center, Kaizuka City Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil= Department of Radiology, Breast Cancer Center, Kaizuka City Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil= Department of Breast Surgery, Breast Cancer Center, Kaizuka City Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Breast Surgery, Breast Cancer Center, Kaizuka City Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Breast Surgery, Breast Cancer Center, Kaizuka City Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Health Science, Osaka Butsuryo University kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Gerontological Nursing/Wound Care Management, Graduate School of Medicine, University of Tokyo kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil= Graduate School of Health Science, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil= Department of Breast Surgery, Breast Cancer Center, Kaizuka City Hospital kn-affil= en-keyword=Breast cancer kn-keyword=Breast cancer en-keyword=Direct methods kn-keyword=Direct methods en-keyword=Mammography kn-keyword=Mammography en-keyword=Mask methods kn-keyword=Mask methods en-keyword=Stereotactic vacuum assisted biopsy kn-keyword=Stereotactic vacuum assisted biopsy END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=24 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=288 end-page=298 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2017 dt-pub=201703 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Development of a Japanese version of the BREAST-Q and the traditional psychometric test of the mastectomy module for the assessment of HRQOL and patient satisfaction following breast surgery en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=BACKGROUND:　 An understanding of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is of utmost importance in both oncological and esthetic breast surgery. The BREAST-Q is a patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure that investigates HRQOL and patient satisfaction before and after breast surgery. The aim of this study was to develop a Japanese version of the BREAST-Q including the mastectomy module, the reconstruction module, the augmentation module and the reduction/mastopexy module, and to assess the psychometric properties of the mastectomy module among Japanese women.　 METHODS:　 The Japanese version of the BREAST-Q was developed through forward translation, backward translation and patient testing. Traditional psychometric testing of the mastectomy module was administered to 45 post-mastectomy patients.　 RESULTS:　 The mastectomy, reconstruction, augmentation and reduction/mastopexy modules were formally developed into Japanese. Despite cultural difference between Japanese women and original target population, the contents were considered to be valid among Japanese woman. With the exception of the sexual well-being subscale, good reliability and validity were evident for the mastectomy module (Test-retest reliability 0.76-0.95, Chronbach's alpha coefficient 0.77-0.98).　 CONCLUSIONS:　 The BREAST-Q Japanese version is a useful PRO measure for investigating the impact of breast surgery on HRQOL and patient satisfaction. Further validation in younger Japanese women is needed to determine the usefulness of the sexual well-being subscale. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SaigaMiho en-aut-sei=Saiga en-aut-mei=Miho kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TairaNaruto en-aut-sei=Taira en-aut-mei=Naruto kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KimataYoshihiro en-aut-sei=Kimata en-aut-mei=Yoshihiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=WatanabeSatoko en-aut-sei=Watanabe en-aut-mei=Satoko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=MukaiYuko en-aut-sei=Mukai en-aut-mei=Yuko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShimozumaKojiro en-aut-sei=Shimozuma en-aut-mei=Kojiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=MizooTaeko en-aut-sei=Mizoo en-aut-mei=Taeko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=NogamiTomohiro en-aut-sei=Nogami en-aut-mei=Tomohiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=IwamotoTakayuki en-aut-sei=Iwamoto en-aut-mei=Takayuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=MotokiTakayuki en-aut-sei=Motoki en-aut-mei=Takayuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShienTadahiko en-aut-sei=Shien en-aut-mei=Tadahiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsuokaJunji en-aut-sei=Matsuoka en-aut-mei=Junji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=12 ORCID= en-aut-name=DoiharaHiroyoshi en-aut-sei=Doihara en-aut-mei=Hiroyoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=13 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Breast and Endocrine Surgery, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Biomedical Sciences, College of Life Sciences, Ritsumeikan University kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Breast and Endocrine Surgery, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Breast and Endocrine Surgery, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Breast and Endocrine Surgery, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Breast and Endocrine Surgery, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=11 en-affil=Department of Breast and Endocrine Surgery, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=12 en-affil=Department of Breast and Endocrine Surgery, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=13 en-affil=Department of Breast and Endocrine Surgery, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= en-keyword=BREAST-Q kn-keyword=BREAST-Q en-keyword=Breast cancer kn-keyword=Breast cancer en-keyword=Breast reconstruction kn-keyword=Breast reconstruction en-keyword=Health-related quality of life kn-keyword=Health-related quality of life en-keyword=Satisfaction kn-keyword=Satisfaction END
