Thermo-elastic modeling of breast tissue with gravity-induced deformation And can then model the thermal state of the tissue – in 3-d – under the influence of a source (e.g., a tumor) at an arbitrary position We can model the shape of the breast under realistic conditions of position and orientation This information is useful for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy Temperature Strain With L.
