Abstract:

An interactive breast model ( ) is disclosed for training lay persons and health care providers to perform effective breast examinations and to locate and identify masses in a breast. The model of the invention comprises a silicone breast model ( ) equipped with a data acquisition unit ( ) having a plurality of sensors ( ) for detecting displacement in the surface ( ) of the breast model during an examination and data acquisition modules ( ) for receiving the sensor output data. The data acquisition unit ( ) sends the sensor output to a personal computer ( ) for analysis and display to the user ( ). Software ( ) executing on the personal computer performs fuzzy logic algorithms to correlate the sensor output data to usable information regarding the time duration of the examination, finger placement of the user, and the level of displacement throughout the examination. This performance data ( ) is displayed to the user.
