The Tactile Sensation Imaging System for Embedded Lesion Characterization

Abstract—Elasticity is an important indicator of tissue health, with increased stiffness pointing to an increased risk of cancer. We investigated a tissue inclusion characterization method for the applicationofearlybreasttumoridentification.Atactilesensation imagingsystem(TSIS)isdevelopedtocaptureimagesoftheembeddedlesionsusingtotalinternalreflectionprinciple.Fromtactileimages,wedevelopedan…
