Agreement was evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), Bland\u2013Altman analysis, and error metrics. Intraoperative field changes were recorded, an MRI-based minimal clinically important difference (MCID) was derived using distribution-based methods, and satisfaction was assessed with BREAST-Q.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Preoperatively, BREAST-V showed good association and moderate agreement with MRI (ICC = 0.788; r = 0.840; P &amp;lt; .001). Postoperatively, agreement was poor (ICC = 0.210; r = 0.339; P = .032). Bland\u2013Altman bias increased from +69.5\u2005mL preoperatively to +279.2\u2005mL postoperatively, with wide limits of agreement (\u2212366.4 to +505.5 and \u221267.2 to +625.7\u2005mL, respectively). Error metrics showed clinically relevant divergence, particularly postoperatively (mean absolute error, 177.6 vs 280.5\u2005mL; mean absolute percentage error, 35.5% vs 41.0%). The MRI-derived MCID for asymmetry was 92.5\u2005mL.
