A Biomechanical model of spiculated tumours under mammographic compressions.
In: (2010 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology, 31 August- 04 September 2010, Buenos Aires, Argentina). 2010. 712-715 (Conference proceedings : ... Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Conference)
The aim of this paper is to introduce effects well known to clinicians -but neglected to date- in the biomechanical modelling of breast malignant tumours. We develop a model of an isolated stellate breast tumour under mammographic compression forces. We study a range of reported mechanical properties, both linear elastic and hyperelastic. We also introduce different volumes of increased density/stiffness around the tumour. We show that each of these issues has a non-negligible effect on stresses and strains/deformations.
