Attributes, Performance, and Gaps in Current & Emerging Breast Cancer Screening Technologies.

Background: Early detection of breast cancer, combined with effective treatment, can reduce mortality. Millions of women are diagnosed with breast cancer and many die every year globally. Numerous early detection screening tests have been employed.

Finite element modelling and validation for breast cancer detection using digital image elasto-tomography.

Finite element (FE) models are increasingly used to validate experimental data in breast cancer. This research constructed a biomechanical FE model for breast shaped phantoms used to develop and validate a mechanical vibration based screening system. Such models do not currently exist but would enhance development of this screening technology.
