Fractional Derivative Models and Their Use in the Characterization of Hydropolymer and In-vivo Breast Tissue Viscoelasticity By
The Viscoelastic response of hydropolymers, which include gelatin phantom and glandular breast tissue, may be accurately characterized with as few as three parameters using the Kelvin-Voigt Fractional Derivative (KVFD) modeling approach. We propose to image these parameters for simulated and experimental imaging phantoms and to estimate them for normal and cancerous in-vivo breast tissues. Afte...
متن کاملThe application of discriminant analysis in differentiation of fibroadenoma and ductal carcinoma of breast tissue using ultrasound velocity measurement
Background: Ultrasound propagation velocity was measured experimentally in normal, fibroadenoma and ductal carcinoma breast tissues, in order to distinguish normal breast tissue from tumors. Materials and methods: In quantitative measurements of ultrasound velocity, 403 breast tissue images were selected, comprising 130 normal breast tissue, 130 fibroadenoma, and 143 ductal carcinoma tumors. Th...
متن کاملNon-invasive estimation of cardiac wall stress by using tissue doppler-echocardiography ultrasound images: People with coronary artery stenosis
In this study, a method for non-invasive estimation of stress on the heart wall in the diastole phase is presented using ultrasound echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress on the heart wall as a pre-diagnosis to identify people with coronary artery stenosis. 29 patients with stenosis of more than 70%, 30 patients with stenosis of 50 to 7...
متن کاملFactors influencing breast elasticity measured by the ultrasound Shear Wave elastography – preliminary results
INTRODUCTION Many physiological changes of breast elasticity depend on the age, hormonal status, menstrual cycle and many others. The aim of this study was to evaluate viscoelastic properties of normal breast tissues in a large group of women and to search for factors which play a role in its mechanical properties. MATERIAL AND METHODS 101 women aged 18-74 years who underwent B-mode sonograph...
متن کاملImaging features of estrogen-negative breast cancers: a correlation study with human epidermal growth factor type II overexpression
Background: Estrogen-negative breast cancers have different clinical course, prognostic features and treatment response in comparison to estrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive) breast cancers. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) oncoprotein has found to have a pivotal role in natural cell growth and cell division and is suggested to be directly related to tumor invasiveness in brea...
