Description
Mohammad Hossein Jamshidi and co-authors review a scan method that reads breast tissue stiffness to find cancer, in a 2024 paper. Cancer tissue is several times stiffer than healthy breast tissue. Magnetic resonance elastography sends gentle shear waves through the breast and turns the response into a color map of stiffness.
Paired with standard contrast MRI, the stiffness map can sharpen tumor detection and help judge outlook. The method gives numbers, not just pictures, which aids firm diagnosis. The review covers how the waves are made, how maps are read, and what the method adds over scans alone. Early detection stands to gain if stiffness checks join routine breast imaging.
