Soft structures are capable of undergoing reversible large strains and deformations when
facing different types of loadings. Due to the limitations of linear elastic models, researchers …

Deformable image registration is a fundamental task in medical image processing. Among
its most important applications, one may cite: 1) multi-modality fusion, where information …

The role of breast image analysis in radiologists' interpretation tasks in cancer risk
assessment, detection, diagnosis, and treatment continues to expand. Breast image analysis …

This paper reviews the existing literature on the tests used to determine the mechanical
properties of women breast tissues (fat, glandular and tumour tissue) as well as the different …

This work presents a data-driven method to simulate, in real-time, the biomechanical
behavior of the breast tissues in some image-guided interventions such as biopsies or …

We present a survey of recent advancements in the emerging field of patient-specific
modeling (PSM). Researchers in this field are currently simulating a wide variety of tissue …

Physically realistic simulations for large breast deformation are of great interest for many
medical applications such as cancer diagnosis, image registration, surgical planning and …

It is desirable to predict the tumor growth rate so that appropriate treatment can be planned
in the early stage. Previously, we proposed a finite-element-method (FEM)-based 3-D …

Breast radiology encompasses the full range of imaging modalities from routine imaging via
x-ray mammography, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound (both two-and three …

The impact of MRI on improving surgical outcomes in DCIS is debated. Here, we explore the
utility of MRI in the investigation and management of DCIS in three key areas. Firstly, we …
