Oxyforce - Creating a Gelatin Model to Mimic Metabolic Cycle and Vascular System in the Breast for Research and Diagnostic Validation

BSc assignment

Introduction:

Understanding metabolic processes and vascular system within the breast tissue is crucial for research, diagnostics, and treatment planning in breast health. This bachelor's thesis project proposes the development of a gelatin-based model that accurately mimics metabolic cycle in breast tissue. The model aims to serve as a valuable tool for research and diagnostic validation.

 

Objectives:

The primary objectives of this thesis project are as follows:

  1. To design and construct a gelatin-based breast model that can replicate metabolic cycle processes within breast tissue.
  2. To validate the model's effectiveness in mimicking metabolic cycle through experimental data and comparisons with real breast tissue samples data from literature.
  3. To assess the potential applications of the gelatin model in advancing breast health research and diagnostic methodologies.

 

Research Questions:

The research questions that will guide this project include:

  1. What materials and techniques can be used to create a gelatin-based model that accurately mimics metabolic cycle in the breast?
  2. How can the model's ability to replicate metabolic processes and vascular system be validated through experimental data?
  3. What are the potential benefits and applications of the gelatin model in breast health research and diagnostics?
