Elastographic Tomosynthesis From X-Ray Strain Imaging of Breast Cancer

Noncancerous breast tissue and cancerous breast tissue have different elastic properties. In particular, cancerous breast tumors are stiff when compared to the noncancerous surrounding tissue. This difference in elasticity can be used as a means for detection through the method of elastographic tomo...
