X-Photon-to-Information Conversion Efficiency in Digital Telemammography
Abstract
The objective of our study is to noninvasively characterize the mechanical properties of normal breast tissue to use in realistic tissue modeling for medical visualization and simulation. Primary aspects of the research emphasize the mechanical deformation of normal breast tissue subjected to incremental compressive forces, and the investigation and implementation of computer algorithms for image morphing and 3D visualization. With the biomechanical principles of breast tissue, we propose to develop a biomechanically driven computer morphing algorithm that accurately mimics the shape deformation of normal breast tissue. In our investigations, we found that MR imaging can provide in vivo biomechanical information about the breast, as well as provide 3D data sets for volume visualization.
