Abstract

Today, liver cancer ranks sixth among cancers and ranks fourth among the causes of death. Examining the condition of the body and early recognition of this disease can be effective in its control and treatment. Examining the mechanical properties of the liver tissue and studying its Young's modulus will identify the health status of the tissue and the patient. In this research, Young's modulus has been theoretically calculated using slab friction models, reset integration, and Bleiman and Sorin models. Also, using atomic force microscope, this modulus has been extracted experimentally. Comparison of theoretical and experimental modules obtained will have similar results. According to the examination of texture and relationships at the nano level, the second model of Billman and Sorin is more accurate due to the smaller range of changes and the more complex equation. Therefore, it is suggested to use the second model of Billman and Sorin in future researches.
