Methodology based on genetic heuristics for in-vivo characterizing the patient-specific biomechanical behavior of the breast tissues
作者：
Highlights：
• Genetic heuristics were used to in-vivo model the breast biomechanical behavior.
• An iterative search was used to optimize the elastic constants of the model.
• Phantom images of the breast were used to compare the internal tissue distribution.
• The accuracy of the estimated model was achieved with an error of less than 10%.
