Kobayashi Y, Okamura N, Tsukune M, Fujie M, Tanaka M
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater . 2020 Sep; 110:103795. PMID: 32957173
Understanding the viscoelastic properties of biological tissues is important because they can reveal tissue structure. This study analyzes the viscoelastic properties of soft biological tissues using a fractional dynamics model....

Tsukune M, Kobayashi Y, Otsuka Y, Maeda T, Yamazaki N, Watanabe H, et al.
Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc . 2015 Jan; 2014:353-6. PMID: 25569970
Recently, the range of applications of surgical staplers has been extended to include laparoscopic liver resection because manipulation of a surgical stapler is very simple. Revealing the causes of stapling...

Tsukune M, Kobayashi Y, Miyashita T, Masakatsu Fujie G
Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg . 2014 Jul; 10(5):593-601. PMID: 25073606
Purpose: Accurate, noninvasive methods are sought for breast tumor detection and diagnosis. In particular, a need for noninvasive techniques that measure both the nonlinear elastic and viscoelastic properties of breast...

Tsukune M, Hatano M, Kobayashi Y, Miyashita T, Fujie M
Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc . 2013 Oct; 2013:4863-6. PMID: 24110824
We describe a robotic palpation system that determines whether a breast tumor is benign or malignant by measuring its nonlinear elasticity. Two indenters compress the breast from different directions to...

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc . 2012 Jan; 2011:7393-6. PMID: 22256047
This paper addresses a diagnostic palpation system based on the measurement of nonlinear elasticity. An indentation probe is used to press against breast tissue. Then, the measured reaction force is...
