A NIH-funded project to develop high-fidelity, patient-specific biomechanical models of the breast to improve diagnosis, treatment, and post-mastectomy recovery, led by University of TX MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Description
This research aims to improve the accuracy of biomechanical models of the breast, which are crucial for predicting tumor locations during diagnostic imaging and surgery, aiding in surgical planning, and generating simulations for physician and patient education. Advances in this area have the potential to significantly enhance women's health and quality of life.
