| Popis: | 98 Breast cancer is a cancer that starts in the cells of the breast in women. Breast cancer is one of the ten leading causes of death for women in Taiwan. Most women who have breasts lumps are often ashamed, and/or they fear about the potential removal of the breast. In fact, most of the lumps are benign, and treatment of breast cancer does not have to lose the entire breast. The early detection of early treatment can greatly reduce the mortality rate. This paper aims to develop a mechanical model to describe the mobile characteristics of breast tumor under external force excitation. The model utilizes an ultrasound probe to capture the breast cancer image and a force sensor to measure the reaction force by the tumor. A quantitative method of the mobility for different type of tumors has been proposed. |
