Breast mimicking materials
The breast mimicking materials consisted of agarose and gelatin mixture as the background material, which mimic the breast tissue. In this study, the agarose solution acts as a glandular fibrous and gelatin acts as fat in the breast. The composition of breast tissue was best characterized as being 30% of glandular fibrous and 70% of fat (TR Nelson et.al, 2008). Therefore, each sample consisted of 30% of agarose solution and 70% of gelatine solution. The agarose concentration used in this study was 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0% and 3.5%. Meanwhile, the concentration of gelatine needed depending on agarose concentration that used for that solution.
Besides that, there are different types of materials were used
