The project develops a high-fidelity biomechanical model of the human breast to improve diagnosis, surgical planning, and patient education in breast cancer care, addressing anatomical and biomechanical knowledge gaps.
Description
This research aims to improve the accuracy of biomechanical models of the breast, which are crucial for predicting tumor location, surgical planning, and patient education. The project seeks to determine the anatomical and biomechanical characteristics of the fascial support system of the breast, understand the sensitivity of patient-specific parameters, and validate the translation of these models into patient-specific applications.
