The anatomy of Human Breast

Peter Hartmann is a professor at the University of Western Australia, and director of the Human Lactation Research group. They have done some amazing work which has resulted in a rethinking of breast anatomy.

Previous diagrams of breast anatomy were based on work dating back to the mid-1800's, when the breasts of lactating cadavers were injected with hot wax and the internal structure was subsequently mapped. Hartmann's group, however, has used ultrasound to map the lactating breast, and has discovered the anatomy to be entirely different.
