Patent ID: 7419376

Claim:
A breast tissue phantom comprising: a simulated bulk breast tissue made from a two-component silicone gel having a Young's modulus ranging from about 2 kPa to about 35 kPa, said simulated bulk tissue having a size and shape of a human breast tissue, a simulated pathological structure set imbedded within said simulated bulk breast tissue, said simulated pathological structure set including at least one simulated pathological formation made from a two-component silicone gel with Young's modulus ranging from about 30 kPa to about 600 kPa, a simulated anatomical structure set imbedded within said simulated bulk breast tissue at anatomically appropriate locations, a simulated skin layer covering said simulated bulk tissue, said skin layer including a nylon fabric covered by a transparent layer of a two-component silicone.
