Self-palpation device for examination of breast

摘要: A method and device in accordance with the present invention enable detecting changes mechanical structural properties of breast tissue that are indicative cancer development. In one embodiment invention, an array force sensors based on PVDF piezopolymer film, data acquisition circuit, a microprocessor mounted hand held pad. Detection nodules is achieved by pressing sensing pad onto breast, oscillating it over regions under investigation, analyzing spectral phase characteristics signal from array. The able to objectively detect presence suspicious lesions provide warning signal.
