“…Models based on MRI or CT data are further limited by describing one specific breast, which cannot represent the entire population (1). Pressure in a single point has been measured in vivo but due to experimental design gave no more information than force measurements (16). Measuring pressure distribution over the breast surface could provide a better understanding of internal pressure distribution.…”
The distribution of pressure differed greatly between breasts. In a large proportion of breasts the compression plate did not provide optimal compression of the breast, the compression force being absorbed in juxtathoracic structures.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
