Figure 8From: ImageParser: a tool for finite element generation from three-dimensional medical images The Strain and Tangent Young's Modulus Distribution. The von Mises strain (a) and Tangent Young's modulus (b) distribution in the layers at z = 69, 78, 87 mm are illustrated. Because the tumor is much harder than other tissues, the Tangent Young's modulus is obviously higher and the strain is lower than those at the neighoring region.Back to article page
