A constrained modulus reconstruction technique for breast cancer assessment

摘要: A reconstruction technique for breast tissue elasticity modulus is described. This assumes that the geometry of normal and suspicious tissues available from a contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance image. Furthermore, it assumed constant throughout each volume. The technique, which uses quasi-static strain data, iterative where iteration involves updating followed by stress calculation. Breast mechanical stimulation to be done two compressional rigid plates. As result, calculated using finite element method based on well-controlled boundary conditions compression Using measured strain, element-by-element Hooke's law. simulated data phantom experimental indicate robust.
