Measurement of breast hemicircumference.[1]
Breast hemicircumference, or breast circumference, is an anthropometric measure of the breasts which has been used in studies to assess breast development and breast size, including in transgender women.[2][3][4][1][5] It is the medial horizontal length (measured with a flexible tape measure) from one side of the breast to the other side and running over the nipple.[4][1][5]
