Styvhetsförändringar i bröstvävnad är ofta kopplade till en patologisk förändring. Vissa cancertyper som infiltererande duktalt carcinom kan vara åtta gånger så styv som fettvävnaden runt omkring. Genom att komprimera bröstet och mäta trycket på bröstets yta har man identifierat att det blir en lokal förhöjning i tryck där det finns en tumör. Med hjälp av den här typen av mekanisk avbildning av brA change in stiffness of breast tissue is often connected to a pathological change.
