n this work we introduce a computational modelling that
reproduces the breast compression processes used to obtain the mammogram.
On the one hand, our modelling is based on the representation of the
layered structure of surfaces that enclose the different tissues, muscles
and glands in the breast. On the other hand, we shall validate and
implement the model by means of laboratory tests with phantoms. To the best
of our knowledge, these two characteristics do confer originality to our
research. This is because their interrelation seems not to be properly
established elsewhere yet. Em colaboração com Marcelo Zanchetta do
Nascimento (UFU).
