Prostate cancer is one of the most common formsof cancer among men in Europe and the United States.Piezoelectric resonance sensors can be used in medicalresearch for measurements of stiffness of human tissue.Cancer tissue is usually stiffer and has different biomechanicalproperties compared to healthy tissue. The frequency shiftobserved when a piezoelectric resonance sensor comes intocontact with a tissue surface has been suggested to correlatewith the stiffness variations, e.g. due to cancer. An instrumenthas been developed, with which it is possible to scan flat andspherical objects and where the sensor can be tilted fordifferent contact angles. Measurements performed in thisstudy on spherical tissue models made of silicone, showed theimportance of keeping the contact angle perpendicular to thesurface of the sphere. The results are promising for futurestudies on prostate tissue to complete the evaluation of theinstrument.
