Electromechanical Coupling Factor of Breast Tissue as a Biomarker for Breast Cancer

Goal: This research aims to validate a new biomarker of breast cancer by introducing electromechanical coupling factor of breast tissue samples as a possible additional indicator of breast cancer. Since collagen fibril exhibits a structural organization that gives rise to a piezoelectric effect, the...
