Typical compression force profile detected during a single dynamic loading cycle. A typical compression force profile detected during a single dynamic loading cycle when the operator compresses the P-Scan device on breast tissue and gradually releases it. The compression profile was divided into three sections: baseline, compression, and releasing. Each test cycle started with a baseline measurement at a minor load of 2 N for about 10 seconds, followed by a ramped compression load up to 15 N during 5 seconds, and ended with a gradual releasing of the compression load during 5 seconds.
