Classification of Breast Masses Based on Visco-elastic Properties Using SAVE Method

Краткое описание

The purpose of this research is to conduct a clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of a noninvasive and quantitative tool for classification/diagnosis of breast masses. The main objective of this proposal is to test the SAVE (Sub-Hertz Analysis of Visco-Elasticity) method on a patient population of sufficient size to determine the sensitivity and specificity for malignant-benign discrimination of breast masses.
