“…As CT attenuations only provide a scalar value at each point, many studies assume isotropic elasticity (164)(165)(166)(167)(168)(169), although anisotropic material properties have also been implemented using information within the voxel (170). The elastic moduli for early isotropic models have been homogeneous (171)(172)(173), but more recent studies have used inhomogeneous materials (8,164,165,170,174-178) as they have been found to be more accurate than the models using homogeneous material properties (9,179,180).…”
