摘要: A method and device in accordance with the present invention enabling detecting mechanical structural properties of breast tissue that are indicative cancer. Detection nodules is achieved by placing into a scanning unit comprising two-dimensional pressure sensor array mobile linear located opposite to array, analyzing signals from sensors. The able objectively detect presence lesions suspicious for cancer or other pathologies provide means computerized three-dimensional imaging breast.
