An Iterative Method for Estimating Nonlinear Elastic Constants of Tumor in Soft Tissue from Approximate Displacement Measurements

Objectives. Various elastography techniques have been proffered based on linear or nonlinear constitutive models with the aim of detecting and classifying pathologies in soft tissues accurately and noninvasively. Biological soft tissues demonstrate behaviors which conform to nonlinear constitutive m...
