A constrained modulus reconstruction technique for breast cancer assessment.

A constrained modulus reconstruction technique for breast cancer assessment.

A reconstruction technique for breast tissue elasticity modulus is described. This technique assumes that the geometry of normal and suspicious tissues is available from a contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance image. Furthermore, it is assumed that the modulus is constant throughout each tissue volum...
